Two large striped organic forms are stacked through the centre of the composition, each split between smooth green-to-yellow gradients and bands of red, blue, green and white. Geometric stacks overlap them from the left, while magenta lines and diagonal forms cut across the surrounding grey-green field - its mica-like pigment\/metallic sheen shimmering beautifully in the light. The deep black framing, red central axis and green outer border give the image a strong architectural structure. A major large-scale work from Kurosaki’s 1977 Camouflaged World series, combining the vivid colour, organic forms and layered geometry. \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. 10\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e blocks, 17 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: Exceptionally well preserved, with beautifully rich colours and no visible marks or blemishes.

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":58708270874968,"sku":null,"price":620.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/AkiraKurosaki-CamouflagedWorld7Thmb.jpg?v=1793356948","url":"https:\/\/www.kumoarts.com\/products\/akira-kurosaki-camouflaged-world-7","provider":"Kumo Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
