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. the series is a purely visual phenomenon, free from the structure of figurative motifs. This work is the first in the series since the beginning of 2021 and the 49th in total. It is one of the smallest works in the series, a thumbhole-sized piece. The basic technique of this series is to start from the beginning with no clear theme, message, motif, or plan, and to determine the picture that is considered complete (including its orientation) by layering and grinding acrylic paints. In this work, I had a rough plan for the "red painting. Other than that, the finished screen was achieved by improvisational layering and grinding. I was motivated to create this series because I thought it was 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. The canvas is once stretched on a temporary board after careful prepapering with ground coats on both sides of the canvas. 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 completed on a temporary board, and after completion, it is cleaned and dried before being stretched on a panel. 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.
