Statement: TAKEHITO Yui Mirroring

When looking through an old antique magazine in between paintings, I found a picture of a stone Buddha in relief form. It looked like a natural stone that had been fade, but it still had a delicate trace of a human figure on it. I wondered where the boundary was between the image of this Buddha-figure block of stone and its return to the natural gravel itself. Such border is up to the viewer’s imagination, and it seems to me it is similar to that of a painting.

The boundary between become the word, or not become the word.

My intuition tells me that human beings started drawing pictures and using language at about the same time. I also think that this may be the same as the boundary where infants switch from action-first to image-first in the transition of their drawing style. I hope to draw pictures at that boundary.
