About this work
Overview
Naotaka Hiro's 2021 Untitled is a mixed-media work combining various materials and techniques. Held at The Museum of Modern Art, it comprises two tall panels.
Subject & Meaning
The painting features empty white circles, possibly representing eyes, surrounded by a ring of bright yellow dots. The top half is a chaotic mixture of colors, textures, and materials, including rope and what appear to be feathers, though they are actually fabric.
Technique & Style
Hiro's work blends fabric dye, oil pastel, and other materials with more traditional painting techniques. The incorporation of rope and grommets adds a three-dimensional element, while the use of fabric instead of actual feathers creates a complex interplay between reality and representation.
