Walking toward hope while experiencing suffering and pain in life

Like other Fujimoto's works, it is created by “laminating and grinding acrylic paint.”

The color and matière unique to this method can be obtained.

The production flow is to create full-scale line drawings on tracing paper separate from the screen. Then, I plan the layer structure of the colors to be applied over and over, but I choose colors that I feel are good in terms of painting, regardless of the unique colors of the motifs. Once the plan has been decided to some extent in terms of line and color, the line drawing on the tracing paper is transferred onto the panel and the main picture production begins.

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 with an undercoat and a sharpener that crushes the wood grain, 20 or more layers of paint are applied as depictions, all parts and solids are repeated, and grinding with water-resistant sandpaper is applied while applying water. By repeatedly scraping and monitoring the screen, a screen that seems complete appears.

The word “strawberry” in the title seems to be sometimes used in jargon to mean “blood,” so I used it in this work to express “pain.”

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.
