Roofs 1958

Jun'ichiro Sekino made "Roofs" as a print with such a dedicated attention to detail, it's like he’s building a world tile by tile. There’s this insane precision, right? The textures, the way the light shifts across those grey tiles, almost makes me feel like I could reach out and touch them. And look at the wooden beams supporting the roof - the contrast between the flat planes of the roofs and those rounded forms! This feels like a conversation with someone like M.C. Escher, but way more grounded. Both artists share this interest in pattern, but where Escher goes for the mind-bending illusion, Sekino finds the magic in the everyday. Art isn't about answers, it's about keeping the conversation going, tile by tile, day by day.
