It was created in 2009 as a series of Fujimoto's landscape paintings. The title comes from the imaginary red trees scattered all over the field. A person carrying a backpack is walking through such a field, and two animals are standing beyond him. Throughout these scenes, the artist expresses walking toward hope despite encountering the suffering and pain of life. As with other Fujimoto works, the technique is the same: priming of plywood, followed by laminating and grinding of acrylic paints. As for the production process, a full-scale line drawing is created on tracing paper that is separate from the screen. I then plan the layered composition of colors to be painted over, choosing colors that I feel are good from a painterly point of view, without necessarily sticking to the motif's inherent colors. Once the plan has been decided to some extent, both in terms of line and color, the line drawing on tracing paper is transferred onto the panel, and the main painting process begins. The panel used is double-sided. The panel is painted on the entire surface of the screen, sides and back. The same color as the background is applied to the sides of the panel. After the preliminary preparation of the screen by undercoating and scraping to destroy the grain of the wood, more than 20 layers of paint are applied to depict the image in part and solid, and then the image is ground with water-resistant sandpaper. After repeated scraping and monitoring of the screen, a screen that looks finished appears. The screen and sides of the work have a smooth matte finish, so the work can be wiped clean with a dish towel. The back of the work is also painted with acrylic paint after the panels are attached to increase the durability of the work. String for display is already attached. One of the characteristics of painting, "multilayered magic," is used to achieve a spectacle that exists only on the support. Since 1999, he has been pursuing the possibilities of painting with the consistent technique and matiere of "layering and polishing acrylic paint."
