KYOTO GOLD 2024

 自然の顔料や塗料、金や銀箔、

 自然の顔料や塗料、金や銀箔、油彩や漆は、独創的な試みのひとつとして写真と組み合わせて使われます。 私の作品では、絵画と融合させた写真を用いて物語を表現しています。 それは絵画と写真の境界をぼかすことで、私は夢から現実へと切り離された境目を近づけています。 私は、世界中を旅しているときに魅了されたもの、私自身に意味深い記号として残されたものが、重要で目にとまる控えめな日常の物語であると信じています。

I pigmenti minerali (iwaenogu) sono ridotti in frammenti dalla granulometria grossa o più fine: a seconda delle dimensioni dei frammenti, il colore sarà più intenso o più tenue. Affinchè possano aderire al supporto cartaceo che ho scelto( tedesca o giapponese) , i pigmenti devono essere miscelati con una colla di origine animale (nikawa). Col pennello si stendono più strati successivi di colore. alla fine di tutto il dipinto sovrappongo strati di lacca.

Gofun is a white pigment made from the shells of oysters, clams, scallops, etc. used in Japanese paintings. Its main component is calcium carbonate and is characterized by the fine particles which produce a smooth matt texture. 

Gofun itself has no adhesive properties and is mixed with glue solution to fix it to the support medium. 

It has a broad usage and is an important component of nihonga paint. 

In addition to producing white paint, it was also mixed with other colors because nihonga paint was only available in a limited number of colours.
