Layers of Color series = non figurative, spontaneous, phenomenal paintings From the "Layers of Color" series of phenomenal paintings. This is the third work produced in 2020, and the 49th work in the series. It is a diamond-shaped work of the same size as "1802" and "2004," which are also on sale to the public. I am aware that the rhombic rectangle painting itself is not a particularly new experiment in the history of painting. However, as I have been judging the direction of completion with ordinary rectangles, this work is oriented in this way because it was the screen that I felt had a fresh feel and was the richest from a pictorial point of view. This work, "2003," is on S15 square canvas. I used red as the base color, as if to express the energy of the paint as a phenomenon. The "Layers of Color" series, which I started in 2015, pursues paintings that are pure visual phenomena, where the motifs are freed from the structure of figurative motifs. The basic technique of this series is to start from a place 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 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 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.
