Featured Works
Katsura
Extending inwards from the edges of the work is a large margin of linen canvas, which curves away from the viewer as it approaches the center, creating a depression with a depth of about 5 centimeters. In the center is a flat area covered by an abstract composition of colors and grid lines, painted with oil paints. Shinoda had felt uneasy with the Western understanding of time and space ever since his early career as a landscape architect in Japanese gardens. In “Katsura” he endeavored to bring out the difference in the concept of structures by giving emphasis to the elements of unparalleled modernist architecture which can be recognized in the Katsura Imperial Villa, Kyoto.
