It depicts the view that the artist encountered shortly after moving to Shonan. This is one of his early large paintings and took two months to produce. It is the artist's representative work.
About the technique.
This painting was influenced by the pointillism technique proposed by Seurat in the 1880s. He was fascinated by its intellectual, cold and mechanical expression, which gives an unforgettable impression once seen, and began to create pointillism on his own. By juxtaposing acrylic painting materials in dots on the canvas with a thin brush tip without mixing colors, and by mixing colors on the viewer's retina, he aims to create an expression that is complete in the sense of sight. I try to express black (shadow) without using black, and white (light) without using white.
