“Details”, exhibition at Takuro Someya in Tokyo.

Thin washes of paint are layered and rolled in a methodical manner, replacing the pixelʼs clinical precision with surface variability. The series moves between flatness and spatial suggestion, anchored in consistently cool tones, which lend each form a sense of suspension and quiet fluctuation. His compositions minimal, diagrammatic, and open-ended, echo the logic of his web-based abstraction, but now speak through subtle hues, opacity, texture, and surface modulation. UI structures breathe again within the space of painting. Their language, once optimized digitally, returns in painterly form: modular, tactile, and deliberate. The paintings reframe familiar geometries as echoes of a larger visual history, aligning with presence. What begins as a system yields to sensation, where calibrated forms hover between historical resonances and immediacy. It is here that abstraction absorbs memory, and structure begins to feel like intuition. A diagram opens into a landscape of perception.
