Daijiro Hama Japan, 1984
Acrylic on linen
A blue figure rises from a rectangle woven with reflections, part creature, part sentinel. Its head, ears lifted, seems to listen to an unseen world, while its body dissolves into the very fabric of the canvas. The surface, marked by bright lines and deep shadows, becomes a veil between reality and imagination. Here, the being does not speak, yet its silent presence tells of waiting, of mystery, and of the fragile thread between what is revealed and what remains hidden.
