Layers of Color series = non figurative, spontaneous, phenomenal paintings The "Layers of Color" series, which began in 2015, pursues paintings that are purely visual phenomena, free from the structure of figurative motifs. that are purely visual phenomena, free from the structure of figurative motifs. This work is the fourth in 2019 and the 39th in the series. It is one of the smallest works in the series, a thumbhole-sized piece. The basic technique of this series is to start with no clear theme, message, motif, or plan, and then determine what is considered to be the finished painting (including orientation) by layering and grinding acrylic paints. I began this work with the intention of creating a strong sense of tactility and layered intertwining. Other than that, the finished screen was arrived at by painting and shaving based on improvisational decisions. I was motivated to create this series because I thought it would be a good way to pursue "what only painting can do" in my own way. A scene that can only exist with paint on a support. Painting as a physical crystal. It is the product of my desire to see such a work of art. After careful prep work on both sides of the canvas, the canvas is stretched over a temporary board. More than 20 layers of paint, including partial and solid, are applied to the screen side as a depiction. Then, the screen is built up by grinding with water-resistant sandpaper while applying water. The work is done on a temporary board, and after completion, it is cleaned and dried before being stretched on a wooden frame. Since the screen is ground out, it is smooth and can be wiped clean with a dish towel. 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 pursuing the possibilities of painting with a consistent technique and matiere of "layering and grinding acrylic paints.
