Eternal Trio" is the title of a series of landscape works dotted with "three beings. The series has been developed irregularly, and this work is the second in the series. When this work was created in 2008, I often chose parks as motifs for my landscape paintings. In this work, as the "Eternity Trio" created in that vein, I created this work based on drawings reconstructed from scenes of residents standing in parks in Southeast Asia. The "three beings" on the screen in each work, in this work, are set up as three old men, but in the other works in the series, they are not necessarily people. There is no conclusion that we want to draw for the work. Everything is left to the imagination of the viewer. Not only in this work, but in Fujimoto's other works, there are landscapes depicting various scenes, and we would be happy if they function like a "vehicle" on which the viewer's own thoughts and inspirations can be carried. How to drive? It is up to the viewer to decide where he or she wants to go. I would be happy if you could take any excursion you like in your mind, transcending the various barriers that exist in time, space, and the real world. The work, like all of Fujimoto's works, is created using a technique consisting of layers of acrylic paint and grinding with sandpaper. It has an inherent smooth matiere and unique coloring. The plywood panels used for the support are double-sided, and the entire surface, including the sides, are coated with a ground coating to increase durability against changes in humidity. The back of the panel has a string so that pins or hooks can be attached to the panel for installation. The screen and sides can be wiped clean, making it easy to keep the work in good condition. The "multi-layered magic" characteristic of the painting should be fully utilized. A scene that can only exist with paint on a support. I found my technique in 1999, which is in line with my desire from the time I started to create. Since then, I have been pursuing the possibilities of painting using my technique as a tool.
