Kadota Mitsumasa’s paintings, created using staining techniques, are transformed through the diverse and continuous duplication of colour and brush mark into unexpected visions. This repetition of distortion and erosion is like a diagram of a tree from a bird’s-eye view in paintings whose structures have no thickness.
門田光雅の描く、ステイニングによる希薄なイメージは、色彩と筆触の多角的な重複の連続により、原型は異なる予期せぬビジョンへ変貌する。この歪曲と侵食の反復は、絵画という厚みの無い構造の中での俯瞰する樹形図である。
