Omschrijving
Japanese Sea continues my exploration of landscape through reduction and subtraction. The image is built by removing paint from a darkened surface, allowing light to emerge gradually through fine incisions. Tonal value, rather than colour, structures the composition: the horizon, the bands of sky, and the dense texture of the water are defined through subtle shifts in light and density. Up close, the sea is a field of intersecting lines; from a distance, it stabilises into a quiet, horizontal space.
The work makes a discreet reference to Hiroshi Sugimoto’s seascapes, particularly in the clarity of the horizon and the reduction of the motif to its essential elements. As in Sugimoto’s photographs, the sea is not treated as a dramatic event but as a minimal structure dividing sky and water. At the same time, the scratched surface keeps the image tactile and unstable. The painting is less about depicting a specific place than about examining how depth, atmosphere and stillness can emerge through restraint and repetition.
