Two paired organic forms sit across the top of the composition, combining smooth green-to-yellow gradients with striped bands of red, blue, green and white. Below, a large angular structure appears to fold open across a beautiful grey-green field shimmering in mica-like pigment\/metallic sheen - catching the light beautifully. A vivid magenta line twists through the exposed space. Framed in Kurosaki’s characteristic deep black and red, this is a major large-scale work from his 1977 Camouflaged World series, with the layered geometry and organic forms creating a strong sense of depth.\u003c\/em\u003e 🟢\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"453\" data-start=\"367\"\u003eYear \u0026amp; Edition: 1977 · Ed. of 50 (6\/50) (signed \u0026amp; titled in pencil to plate).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"486\" data-start=\"456\"\u003eMedium: Woodblock. 9\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e blocks, 15 colours - p\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003erinted on Echizen Torinoko paper*.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"573\" data-start=\"489\"\u003eDimensions: Sheet ~ H: 89.25 cm × W: 62.00 cm (Image H: 80.00 cm × W: 55.00 cm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"698\" data-start=\"576\"\u003eCondition: Stunning.

A graduate of the Kyoto Institute of Technology and devoted to the sōsaku hanga ethos - overseeing every stage of production himself - he earned the Florence Biennale Gold Prize and Japan’s Order of the Sacred Treasure. From 1987 he taught and led the Printmaking Department at Kyoto Seika University, mentoring a generation of printmakers; his work is held by the British Museum, MoMA and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. \u003ca title=\"黒崎彰 Akira Kurosaki (1937-2019)\" href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/akira-kurosaki\"\u003e[ ← View All Works by Akira Kurosaki]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumo Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58706076107096,"sku":null,"price":620.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/Akira_Kurosaki_-_Camouflaged_World_6_Thmb.jpg?v=1793355342","url":"https:\/\/www.kumoarts.com\/products\/akira-kurosaki-camouflaged-world-6","provider":"Kumo Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
