The subject of this work is the evening view of Kugenuma Beach in Shonan.
After moving to Shonan, I resigned from my job for two years, so I no longer have the chance to see this scenery on a daily basis. After all, it is good to paint an evening scene. I just want to paint because I want to, and I want to remember this feeling.
About the technique.
I was influenced by the pointillism technique advocated by Seurat in the 1880s. He is fascinated by this technique, which gives an impression that is both intellectual and coldly mechanical, and is hard to forget once you see it. 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.
