I’ve been working on two new experimental paintings,
both of the “scanner size” (A4, 297 x 210mm [11.7″ x 8.27″]).
Why is the size??
Numerous NFT dealers have so far asked me to provide them
with NFTs of my paintings, and so far I have refused. Why?
My artworks are all painted with my own hands,
Naturally, to mint them into NFTs, one has to photograph
them first. Now, photographing a painting inevitably
deteriorates its colors. No camera is able to capture the
“true colors” of a painting.
And I consider myself as a “colorist” painter, who by definition
hates such color deterioration.
So, I’m looking for a way out — a way to minimize color deterioration.
– Generally, a scanned image of a painting contains less
color deterioration than a photographed image does.
– Among many painting media and styles, pen-on-paper
pointillism seems to suffer little color deterioration, when
scanned. (’cause it consists of simple “pen dots” of many
different colors).
So, now I’ve begun working on
pen-pointillism paintings meant for scanning.
Naturally, their size is 297 x 210mm (11.7″ x 8.27″).
I’ve started creating two “scanner-sized pen pointillism”
works in this experimment.
The first motifs are flowers and nudes.
When the works come out, I’ll ask some NFT dealers
if the works are “competent” in the NFT market.
Here is the initial scratch for the “flower” piece.
