Solar

An abstract composition dominated by a large brown, dome-like arc rising against a mint-green ground in the upper register, with vertical bands of cream, navy, rose, and pale pink running down the left side. Below, rows of small folded or umbrella-like faceted shapes in mint, pink, and gray line up along a dark, densely scribbled black band, above a lower strip of warm tan/gold marked with fine linear scratches and circular motifs. Muted, tonal colors and a hazy, airbrushed blending between forms give the scene a quiet, layered mood; the print is signed and numbered in pencil below the image. Etching, 2000, by Shigeki Kuroda, titled "Solar."
