Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori creates incredible three-dimensional artwork by applying acrylic paint on multiple layers of transparent liquid resin. The resin is mixed with a hardener or catalyst, allowing Riusuke to paint each successive layer (similar to a 3D printer), eventually creating a ‘sculptural painting’ that can be viewed at various angles and vantage points. The time-consuming technique gives his work incredible depth and realism.
Riusuke debuted his wonderful work at the ICN Gallery in London from December 1, 2011 – January 11, 2012. Thankfully for those unable to attend, photographer Dominic Alves took a set of beautiful photographs to capture the exhibition. To get a sense of this fascinating technique be sure to watch the video below and at the very end of this post.
