Instead of deciding what to paint, the subject emerges by painting over lines accidentally created by the materials placed on the canvas. Without intention, the work is created as if it is being embossed, and SHOGEN always thinks about what this work is trying to convey.
A painting of a bird that descended from the heavens.
It is painted on Ishigaki Island. 'Kaji' means 'wind' in the Ishigaki dialect. It was named Kaji because it was continuously painted while the wind was blowing.
SHOGEN says he wants viewers to remember, by looking at this work, that they are not simply swept away but riding the waves and swells they have created themselves.
The gradient shifting from white to beige and the glossy, vivid jet black represent the beauty characteristic of silk screen printing.
Using the variety of materials unique to silk screen printing, the paint's color is reproduced with a glossy black that is jet black and shiny.
Hand-signed with edition number.
With the advancement of technology, printmaking has increasingly been produced using mechanical techniques, but this silk screen production was carried out almost entirely by hand.
Each color is printed one by one using silk screens made for each color. This is a craftsmanship that can only be achieved by a print studio with over 40 years of experience.
The printed works are rigorously inspected, and 50 sheets are selected.
