Lot Essay

All along, Tomoya Tsukamoto has built upon two themes to endow a universal sense to his works. One is philosophical pondering of "what is Being?”, the other "dot" that often appears spanning over art history.

In this light-scape full of bright glitters and rays, a back-lit female silhouette emergences. Her full length dress blends right into the background and becomes part of the abstract space. This is the first time Tomoya Tsukamoto ever depicts shadow with dots.
The floating female silhouette is depicted with white dots while the shadow on the ground with dark dots, this way the shadow appears to be more tangible than the female silhouette which actually exists, it totally reverses void and reality. Everywhere in this paint you can see three-dimensional strokes of colors, which is the texture comes with "drip painting". Tomoya Tsukamoto combines accidental drip painting together with 2-dimentional dots then compliments with the 3-dimentional effects by air brush, he subsequently produces a unique wonderful space full of floating sensations.
