For ten years, Japanese art professor, Hara Hiroshi, has been investigating the beauty of materials used for painting as well as the possibility of expressing such beauty with Japanese paper and ink.
In his latest works he goes straight to soot, the raw material used to make ink sticks. By capturing the soot smoke directly onto Japanese paper and canvases, Hara completes his works using the minutest particles of carbon.
He says that the shapes of the soot smoke are exact copies the shapes of the flame. The soot smoke draws paintings that aren’t actually drawn. They are expressions where the unconsciousness and consciousness exist and co-exist at the same time, like explorations into an unknown territory.
Flame exhibition will open at Art Beatus Gallery on Friday, January 8, 2015 and will continue until January 29, 2015.
