About this work

This painting is split into two tall panels with empty white circles in the middle. Around the circles, bright yellow dots form a ring. The top half is wild—lots of messy colors, feathers, and rope tangled together. Dark greens, reds, and blues clash with black and white spots. The feathers look real but are painted or dyed fabric. The circles might be eyes, but they’re just empty spaces. The rope is tied around the edges like it’s holding everything together. Look up Naotaka Hiro next to see how he mixes real objects with paint.
