Field Notes:

Color becomes suspension • proportion becomes a doorway

Defining Moment:

1990s—horizontal works reduced painting to measured tone and interval

Yuko Shiraishi

(

b. 1956

)

yoo-koh shee-rye-shee

Shiraishi paints balanced chromatic fields where quiet hues open into architectural space.

Her compositions hover between precision and softness, turning color into atmosphere.

Structural Focus

Reduction with Atmosphere

Form is reduced without becoming cold or purely rational. Minimal means are used to produce calm, resonance, or emotional density.

In Yuko Shiraishi’s work, this approach appears where muted repetition structures painting.

Material Intelligence

Material behavior actively determines structural decisions.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Form separates from representation to prioritize structure and perception.

Large chromatic fields generate scale, immersion, and perceptual depth.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Repetition as calm

Border as light
