The artwork, titled “Koushin-san,” is an abstract piece created by Kazuo Shiraga in 1980. It belongs to the art movement known as Lyrical Abstraction and is characterized by its abstract genre.
The artwork exhibits a dynamic and expressive use of blue hues, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The thick, sweeping strokes applied to the canvas convey a visceral energy, with the paint layered in a way that forms intricate, interwoven patterns. The variations in texture and tone, ranging from deep indigo to lighter, almost translucent blues, lend the piece a profound depth. Subtle hints of other colors, such as hints of red, can be seen interspersed, adding complexity to the composition. The overall effect is one of tumultuous motion, capturing the viewer’s attention with its vigorous and spontaneous aesthetic.
