stakes 18

“Stakes on the Water” series, which was an irregular series of works from 2001 to 2008, was interrupted for several years, then the title was changed to “Stakes” in 2011 and re-developed.

If fluidity and quietness can be expressed, the policy of not being concerned with the unique color “like the surface of the water” is the same as in the previous series, but in this series, motifs other than piles are also added and arranged in relation to the stakes, taking on the challenge of constructing “various stake landscapes.”

This is the 18th film in the same series.

Even within the series, it features a highly abstract and minimalistic screen style.

It is a work with a calm taste, mainly metallic colors, but the center of the screen, the part where scattered piles are connected, etc. are fed back to the know-how cultivated through the development of the series so far.

The panel to be used is glued on both sides. Ground paint all over the screen, sides, and back. The same color as the background color of the screen has also been applied over the sides.

On the screen, after preparation using undercoating and scraping to crush the wood grain, 20 or more layers of paint are applied as depictions, including parts and solids. Then, while pouring water, grinding with water-resistant sandpaper is repeated until the finished screen is found.

The slit on the back of the work is a ventilation duct within the panel, but pins and hooks can also be hooked during installation.

Also, since it is a smooth machined matière, the work can be wiped clean with a dish towel or the like.

The contrast between transition and immutability makes time itself a painting.

The work is like a vehicle that conveys the viewer's sensibility. We hope you enjoy your favorite trip in the world of color, shape, and matière.
