Layers of Color series = non figurative, spontaneous, phenomenal paintings The "Layers of Color" series, which began in 2015, pursues paintings that are purely visual phenomena, free from the structure of figurative motifs. The series pursues paintings that are purely visual phenomena, free from the structure of figurative motifs. This work is the first in the series since the beginning of 2020 and the 45th in total. The basic method of this series is to start with no clear theme, message, motif, or plan, and then to determine the picture that is considered complete (including its orientation) by layering and grinding acrylic paints. I was motivated to create this series because I thought it was a good way to pursue, in my own way, "what only painting can do. A scene that can only exist with paint on a support. Painting as a physical crystal. It is a product of my desire to see such a work of art. There is also a Youtube video of the production process of this work. Grinding work using power tools (Sandpaper is attached to a belt sander. Grinding while applying water.) https://youtu.be/U-jGM1pBkZE * Grinding process from the beginning to the end (Some additions are made during the process.) Slide show of the process of attaching the canvas to the wooden frame and completing the process. https://youtu.be/liZQ4uFMHg0 The canvas is once stretched over a temporary board after careful pre-papering with ground coats on both sides of the front and back. More than 20 layers of paint are applied to the screen side, including partial and solid layers, as a depiction. Then, the screen is built up by grinding with water-resistant sandpaper while applying water. The work is done on a temporary board, and after completion, it is cleaned and dried before being stretched on a wooden frame. Since the screen is ground out, it is smooth and can be wiped clean with a dish towel. One of the characteristics of a painting is to make full use of its "multi-layered magic. I found a way to do this in 1999, in line with my desire since the time I started to create. Since then, I have been pursuing the possibilities of painting with a consistent technique and matiere of "layering and grinding acrylic paints.
