Tatsuo Miyajima: Art in You- Diversity of Material

This exhibition is at first glance a digital installation of several colourful pieces of art of various sizes. At first glance, this exhibition is a digital installation of several colourful pieces of art of various sizes. But a closer look reveals that the author’s use of materials has also been considered.

The work uses three main colouring techniques. Oil on Canvas, Oil on Wooden panel, and Gold leaf on wooden panel. Gold leaf is distinctly different in gloss and colour from the other two oils. Of the works painted with the oil, although the effect is similar from a distance, some textural differences can be seen at closer inspection.

As you can see the Oil on Wooden Panel colours are evenly distributed and in a uniform state. The Oil on Canvas, on the other hand, has shaded layers of colour as it does not fit perfectly when wrapped.

And even with the same material, the author has made distinctions in the details. I thought it was a mistake on the part of the author that some of the colours went outside the canvas of the front digital area. It was not until I saw another work where the author had evenly and meticulously coloured the edges that I realized that this was to reflect the randomness.
