A dynamic and layered composition by Shozo Shimamoto, *Proof of Peace AU 31* brings together acrylic and gold paint with tactile materials including fabric, cardboard, and glass on canvas. The work reflects Shimamoto's bold Gutai spirit, combining explosive gestural energy with richly textured surfaces that invite both visual and physical engagement. The incorporation of gold paint lends the piece a ceremonial luminosity, reinforcing its title's themes of peace and affirmation.
