The characters called “2D” have come to be loved as idols by acquiring “three-dimensional” bodies called figures.
I work by imparting a movement called rotation to a figure and confining that continuity into a single canvas, in other words, visualizing the “time axis” = “fourth dimension” in the “second dimension” called painting.
At the beginning of the 20th century, I thought about painters who expressed movement and time on canvas amid the rapid development of industrial machinery civilization,
I now use the same oil paint to draw movement and time using the same oil paints with modern characters as motifs,
I can't help but feel the big circle of time spinning like a loop.
In this way, physical rotation and rotation representing time and dimensions are entrusted to character figures.
