Kondo is an artist who uses traditional Japanese painting techniques and composes its structure in a completely new style. He originally became interested in the traditional technique which allows several timelines to exist in the same scene naturally by dividing the canvas with clouds or architectural structures. He replaces those motifs with modern objects, drawing and restructuring it in a different way.

In this work, Kondo used timbers and threads to compose the canvas. They give us a sense of space inside the screen and we are looking that space from the outside objectively. Plants and a stone are depicted precisely and we can feel a quiet, calm and peaceful stillness through their presence. Surprisingly, even smears were drawn by hand!
