Andromeda A1 62×46cm Jiro Takamatsu Silkscreen 35/98

This silkscreen work is composed of abstract patterns reminiscent of space and constellations.

White swirling lines spread chaotically across the canvas, contrasting with the red background, while blue and green curves and white dots are scattered randomly, evoking a galaxy dotted with stars.

In this work, the white lines represent movement and energy, creating a visual flow and rhythm, while the vibrant colors visible between the lines seem to symbolize life and the flow of activity.

This painting will encourage viewers to contemplate the infinite universe and stimulate their inner imagination.
