This work is based on Sarushima seen from Umikaze Park in Yokosuka City. The images I perceived at that location were replaced with simplified forms, colors, and paint textures and placed on the canvas. The components arranged on the screen are simplified so that the viewer cannot recognize the name. The aim is to lose the story by losing the name from the painting and to induce consciousness in the structure of the painting. In composing the composition of the screens, we refer to Hatsusai Katsushika's work 36 Views of Mount Fuji, off the coast of Kanagawa. The view of the island over the sea where the waves are breaking and the image of 36 views of Mount Fuji off the back of Kanagawa are superimposed. Quoting composition from a classic work in composing a screen composition is a technique often used by old painters. When I create paintings, I refer to Western painting methods after modern art. The aim is to reflect modern sensations and experiences in paintings based on the tradition of painting. Acrylic paint is used for the canvas. The reason for using acrylic paint is that it is relatively durable and various media are being developed, so it is possible to create various textures, which gives you more freedom in creating screens is. If it is exhibited and stored in an appropriate environment, it will have the same durability as works painted with ordinary acrylic paint. (Perhaps it will not deteriorate for 50 years.) Since each component is carefully considered and drawn, it took about 3 weeks to produce. The signature, production year and title are written on the back of the canvas.
