"Work" (1957) by Japanese artist Akira Kanayama (1924-2006) is an example of abstract expressionism. Created with a meticulous layering of fine lines, the artwork evokes a sense of depth and density, as though the viewer is looking into a dark, interwoven forest. The repetitive mark-making creates a mesmerizing visual experience, inviting contemplation and reflection on the nature of form and space.
