Naka explores the relationship between the physicality in painting and contemporary visual expression, and creates his paintings by using a digital terminal device, the iPhone, and applications to draw preliminary sketches, which are then applied to canvas with acrylic paints and mediums. Viewing music as the root of communication, each painting is based on a vast amount of historical music data and records from the contemporary music scene and distribution subscription services. This work uses the electric guitar as a motif to depict a session that changes in response to various instruments. The motif depicted at various eye levels expresses the importance of multiple perspectives and dialogues.
