Kazuo Shiraga's oil on canvas is a visceral and dynamic work characterized by thick, gestural sweeps of paint applied through the artist's signature technique of painting with his feet while suspended from a rope.

This work reflects Shiraga's foundational role in the Gutai movement, where action and material process were inseparable from the artwork itself.
