About The Artwork

Hamu Isen is an artist based in Kanagawa, Japan. He works in a variety of media, including sculptures in the form of shoes, paintings on canvas combined with reliefs that resemble deformed frames, and other forms of expression. He works in a variety of media, including sculptures in the shape of shoes, paintings that combine relief and canvas that resemble a deformed frame, and other forms of expression. He mainly uses a unique technique of mixing acrylic paint with clay and scraping the dried surface. The mixing of paint and clay creates undulation, and the final scraping of the surface reveals the layers. Hamu Isen's work ranges from abstract expressionist paintings that combine relief and canvas to minimalist paintings, sculptures, drawings, and installations that are stripped of decorative and explanatory elements. He is best known for his technique of mixing clay with acrylic paint, applying it to a support, and then scraping the surface to reveal a fascinating fusion of paint and clay. His subject matter explores the dichotomies of consciousness and unconsciousness, masculine and feminine principles, stability and instability, chaos and harmony, materialism and nihilism. Through his art, he seeks to navigate the extremes of these opposites and discover the inherent stability that lies between them. Hamu Isen's artistic expression contemplates the complex interplay of contrasting forces and invites the viewer to find harmony in the complexity of existence.

In 2009, Hamu Isen invented a unique technique of mixing acrylic paint and clay, fixing it directly to the support by hand or with a spatula, and finally scraping off the surface. The unique feature of this technique is that the surface is scraped off after the paint is fixed. In other words, the color and shape of the painting is not known until it is scraped off. With this technique, he creates a state where the conscious and unconscious intersect. He is interested in the boundaries between paternity and maternity, order and chaos, consciousness and unconsciousness, artificial and natural. He also uses these comparisons to explore Japan's unique culture and identity. He often creates abstract forms using the silver ratio and golden ratio and is often inspired by motifs related to Japanese culture ( Shimenawa-Rope, Snake, Lightning, Nature, etc.).
