Artwork location: Japan

This artwork exemplifies the bold austerity of geometric abstraction through a meticulous composition of shapes and colors. A powerful juxtaposition is created between the prominent, vivid orange-red background and the contrasting forms intersecting its surface. The sharp, angular turquoise triangle introduces a dynamic element, its edge piercing into the composition, adding a sense of movement and direction. Equally compelling is the deep, earthy brown form, which subtly curves into the frame from the upper right corner, providing a grounded counterbalance to the vibrant orange and turquoise. This interplay of colors not only invigorates the visual experience but also evokes a profound sense of depth and spatial interaction despite the flatness of the forms. The painting's precision and minimalism are striking, emphasizing the clarity and purity of its geometric shapes. It demands the viewer's engagement, encouraging a meditative reflection on form, color, and their interrelation. This piece is a testament to the power of simplicity in abstraction, where every angle and hue is deliberate and essential, creating a harmonious yet dynamic visual narrative.

Presentation

- Artist Statement

Shifting Consciousness.

I explore the causes of my attraction to an object, and then create a work of art using the shapes and colors I find as a result.

The abstract works, shaved down and simplified, pose questions to the viewer.

These questions prompt the viewer to think, and even if only slightly, to move their consciousness away from the situation of “now".

This is to enjoy "thinking" itself.

It is similar to the feeling of living in an "extraordinary" world; a world other than reality, such as the same feeling when you go to the movies or travel.

In ancient Japan, festivals and Sake were prepared for the "Hare" (extraordinary) days to get rid of the “Kegare" (bad things) accumulated in daily life and to gain vitality.

However, the glamour of the festivals and the Sake that had been part of the "Hare" (extraordinary) days became part of the daily life. Therefor, the "Kegare" (bad things) could no longer be removed.

Shifting consciousness becomes a tool to enter to the "Hare" (extraordinary) days in its original meaning.
