The "Piles in the Water" series, an irregular series that ran from 2001 to 2008, was interrupted for several years, but was re-titled "Piles" in 2011 and developed again.
This work is the 26th in the "Piles" series.
The "Stakes in the Water/Stakes" series is characterized by a highly abstract and minimalist style, while using a composition of a waterscape.
Although the work has a subdued taste, mainly using metallic colors, it feeds back the know-how cultivated through the development of the series to date, such as the scattered piles, structures in the near field, and noisy, highly tactile colors.
The canvas is coated on both sides.
After a preliminary preparation by undercoating and scraping to adjust the roughness of the surface, more than 20 layers of paint are applied to the canvas, including both partial and solid coats.
Then, grinding with water-resistant sandpaper is repeated until the finished screen is found.
The canvas for this work is stretched on a plywood panel.
Pins and hooks can also be hooked to the backside of the work for installation.
In addition, the smooth matiere of the scraped-out surface allows the work to be wiped clean with a dishcloth or other cleaning cloth.
One of the characteristics of a painting is to make full use of its "multi-layered magic.
I found a way to do this in 1999, in line with my desire since the time I started to create.
Since then, I have been exploring the possibilities of painting with a consistent method of "layering and grinding acrylic paints.
