Artist’s Statement
This work, HAZE / The Unshaped Bears Light, quietly yet decisively unsettles the conventional framework of the “flat plane” upon which painting has long been based. Formed in FRP, its support departs from the standard rectangular canvas, instead taking on an irregular, organic contour. This shape is not merely external form, but functions as a vessel designed to receive and transform light.
Upon the surface, a precisely refined silver coating is applied as the foundational layer, over which translucent colors are built up in multiple strata. Through this structure, light does not simply reflect off the surface; it enters within, repeatedly reflecting and passing through the layers before re-emerging. As a result, color is never fixed, but continues to shift according to the viewer’s position and the surrounding light.
Such phenomena are not mere visual effects. They arise only through the close interrelation of multiple elements: the form of the support, the precision of the coating, and the accumulation of layers. The work stands as a unified structure in which light, material, and form become one.
This multilayered construction also evokes the accumulation of time. The many layers of coating contain within them the very process of making, quietly conveying an invisible depth of time. At the same time, it resonates with a distinctly Japanese sensibility—an awareness of that which lies beyond form, and of subtle presences dwelling within nature.
What this work ultimately suggests is a gentle questioning of the belief that only perfect symmetry or ordered form can embody beauty. Distortion and asymmetry are not deficiencies; rather, they become catalysts through which light is received and new forms of beauty emerge. It is striking that its very irregularity becomes the source of its appeal.
Traversing the boundaries of painting, sculpture, and industrial technique, this work invites us to reconsider the relationship between light, matter, and form. At the same time, it may be said to bring about a quiet but definite transformation in the very act of seeing itself.
