Blue Map 2
1997
"Blue Map 2" by Shinro Ohtake is a richly layered mixed-media work that combines dye, cotton cloth, wood, and plaster on paper, creating a dense, tactile surface that evokes both cartographic and archaeological sensibilities. The deep blue tones bleed and shift across the composition, while fragments of cloth and textured materials protrude from the surface, blurring the boundaries between painting, collage, and sculpture. Ohtake's accumulative process transforms the work into a kind of personal artifact, mapping memory and material culture through deliberate yet chaotic assemblage.
