Capturing the shape in terms of surface is a tradition of Western painting since Chiaroscuro. But if the shape is taken as a “color surrounded by lines,” I find it oriental. The lines I drew indicate the place where the shape changes, which are called ridgelines. By decomposing the shape into lines and colors, I am seeking a style of expression that combines an Oriental flatness with a Western three-dimensional effect.
