Arinori ICHIHARA
Year

Material
monotype on paper

Work Description

Ichihara initially painted in oils while employed at the Otaru regional branch of a bank, but after he noticed ink patterns left on a lithographic plate that he was using as a palette, he began working with monotype printmaking in which ink is spread on a lithographic plate and transferred to paper. He explored experimental printmaking by treating metal plates with various tools and chemicals. This work is based on the artist’s experience in Hiroshima, where he stayed to undergo cryptography education near the end of the war. The landscape of Hiroshima in the lower part of the image is rendered by corroding a metal plate, and the mushroom cloud filling the sky overhead is represented by scraping ink off of the entire metal plate with a spatula.
