From the Layers of Color series, which I began in 2015, I pursue paintings that are purely visual phenomena, where I am freed from the structure of figurative motifs.
This work is the third in the same series.
Starting from a point where there is no clear theme, message, motif, or plan, as each painting or scraping process is completed, the artist judges the next process, and eventually decides on a screen (including its orientation) that is considered complete.
After prepainting and scraping to destroy the grain of the wood, more than 20 layers of paint, both partial and solid, are applied as a depiction. Then, I grind the surface with water-resistant sandpaper while spraying water.
The side of the screen is finished in black, and the slit on the back is a duct for ventilation inside the panel, but it can also be used to hang pins and hooks for installation. The screen is machined so that it is smooth and can be wiped clean with a dish towel.
One of the characteristics of painting is to make the most of the "multilayered magic". I found a way to do this in 1999, in line with my desire from the time I started to create.
Since then, I have been pursuing the possibility of painting with the consistent technique and matière of "layering and grinding acrylic paint".
