Message
An homage to Franz Kline, one of the leading figures of American Abstract Expressionism, influenced by Japanese ink-based calligraphic painting.
This work explores the depth of black unique to sumi ink—its bleeding and dry brush textures that cannot be expressed in oil painting.
Rather than filling the background with white, it embraces the concept of negative space left unwritten.
Although it may appear as an abstract painting, I hope viewers can sense the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi within it.
