After an interruption of several years, the irregular series "Stakes in the Water" from 2001 to 2008 was redeveloped in 2011 with a new title, "Stakes.
As in the previous series, my policy is to avoid using colors that are more "surface-like" than before, as long as they can express fluidity and tranquility. In addition, in this series, I added motifs other than piles and placed them in relation to the piles, challenging to construct "various pile landscapes".
This is the 15th work in the series.
I tried to create my own imaginary landscape of piles with a surrealistic taste.
The color scheme is mainly pink, and I aimed to create a slightly humorous feeling on the screen.
The panel used is double-sided, front and back. The entire surface of the screen, sides, and back were painted. The same color as the background color of the screen is also painted on the sides.
On the screen, after prepainting and scraping to destroy the wood grain, more than 20 layers of paint are applied as a depiction, both partial and solid. Then, grinding with water-resistant sandpaper while spraying water is repeated until the finished screen is found.
The slit on the back of the work is a ventilation duct in the panel, but pins and hooks can also be used for installation.
The smooth machined matiere can be wiped clean with a dish towel.
The layering and grinding of acrylic paints to create a picture plane (which I personally call "layering") This is the same as the "Layers of Color" series of non-objective free paintings, so the matière and the sense of color are consistent in the works of this series.
To take advantage of one of the characteristics of painting, "multilayered magic".
A scene that can only exist through paint on a support.
I discovered "layering" in 1999, a method that has been in line with my desires since I started my career.
Since then, I have been pursuing the possibilities of painting with this "layering" method.
