Description
A third untitled entry in Kikumaro's woodblock print output, this work adds another variation to the artist's body of unnamed compositions. The cumulative effect of multiple untitled works by the same hand creates a series defined by negation, linked not by a shared theme or narrative but by the shared refusal of textual identification. The viewer approaches each print fresh, without the priming effect that a title provides. Kikumaro's woodblock carving and printing technique remains the constant thread, while subject matter, palette, and compositional structure shift from one untitled work to the next.
