    Description

    From the "Layers of Color" series that I started in 2015, I have been pursuing paintings that are purely visual phenomena, where I am free from the structure of figurative motifs.
    This work is the fourteenth since the beginning of 2016, and the twenty-third in total for the series.

    Like the previous work "1613", this work was completed after constructing the "default screen" and then free painting and scraping. The color scheme is similar to that of "1613," and it is like a brother to "1613" in size.

    Let me explain the "default screen".
    I project partial images of my other works onto the canvas and transfer them as black-and-white line drawings, tracing, changing, and omitting them based on my improvisational judgment. The initial group of layers that I call the "default screen" are depicted with acrylic paints along the line drawings, giving them a random thickness.

    From my experience of creating the series so far, I have found that
    I had the feeling that for works of medium size and larger, the power and density of the final image would be enhanced if some kind of image was prepared as a default screen with a certain thickness, rather than just a free brush stroke.
    I first tried it in my previous work "1613". The effect was as I expected, so I used the same method for "1614". (The picture pattern of the "default screen" has been changed.)

    The difference between "1613" and "1614", which are like siblings, is the "direction of the screen flow".
    The difference between "1613" and "1614," which are like siblings, is the direction of the screen flow. "1613" gives the impression of a vertical vector, while "1614" gives the impression of a horizontal vector.

    After the canvas is carefully prepped with a ground coat on both the front and back, more than 20 layers of paint are applied on the screen side as a depiction of the painting. The canvas is then sprayed with water and ground with water-resistant sandpaper to create the canvas.
    The work is done on a temporary board, and after it is completed, it is cleaned and dried before being stretched on a wooden frame, so there are no problems with production or hygiene, and the quality of the matiere characteristics and colors can be maintained. The screen is machined so that it is smooth and can be wiped clean with a dish towel.

    One of the characteristics of painting is to take advantage of the "multilayered magic".
    A scene that can only exist through paint on its support. Painting as a physical crystal.
    In 1999, I found a way to do this that was in line with my desires from the time I started my career.
    Since then, I have been pursuing the possibilities of painting with the consistent technique and matière of "layering and grinding acrylic paint.

    Concept

    Multilayeredness. Matiere. Uniqueness...
    I am interested in taking a positive view of the unique characteristics of painting and making the most of them."
    (Hideaki Fujimoto)

    Fujimoto explores the possibilities of painting with a technique of layering acrylic paint and grinding with sandpaper.
    There are variations in the style of his works, ranging from phenomenal works without objects to highly figurative works.
    The coloring and matiere of his works, created with a consistent technique, are distinctive.
