Shingo Francis explores the expanse of space and spirituality in painting with his multi-layered blue abstract paintings and deep-colored monochrome works. In his recent "Interference" series of paintings, light passes through multiple layers of paint, and different colors appear depending on the angle of view, due to the interference of light caused by the special material. The visual effect of the viewer's movement triggers an experience of the painting that can only be felt there.
Taro Shinoda's painting "Katsura" is created using the basic materials of oil painting, but it is different from the paintings we are used to seeing. The linen canvas itself creates a large margin, which depresses about 5 centimeters from the edge toward the center while drawing a curved surface. The center is flat, with abstract color compositions and gridded lines painted in oil paint. Shinoda, who began his career as a landscape architect of Japanese gardens, is uncomfortable with the Western way of perceiving time and space, but he is also suspicious of his way of perceiving time and space and how it was acquired. He sees the distance from which we view paintings as a physical reaction based on our various shared perceptions and, by extension, our lives, society, and culture. Shinoda's paintings begin by reconsidering them and questioning their assumptions.
Saki Maeda, born in 1993, creates abstract paintings with dozens of layers of oil paint using only a painting knife under the concept of "accumulation of time and boundaries. With the triangle as the minimum existence, her paintings, which are painted layer by layer, accumulate, are scraped off, and then constructed, geometrically expressing all kinds of everyday things, their overlaps, and relationships. Maeda, who has consistently pursued abstraction since she was a student, continues to question “boundaries."
