"In Ofune’s richly textured works, layers of powdered mineral pigments known as iwa enogu are applied to Japanese hemp paper with nikawa, an animal gelatin glue. These stones are crushed by hand to a fine powder, and the resulting pigments enhance the vibrancy and depth of the original raw materials. These techniques are usually seen in nihon-ga (traditional Japanese painting), but Ofune uses these jewel-toned pigments in a contemporary manner, creating atmospheric pieces that are both meditative and timeless." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Makoto Ofune @oliviermalinguegallery, 7 March-20 May ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ waterjournal.co/makoto-ofune ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Featured: WAVE #87, 2012 Powdered mineral pigments on hemp paper. 14 x 26.4 cm.
