Yamaguchi’s interest lies in observing. He is intrigued by small shifts in people’s observation that lead to changes in their perception. His series, Overlap of Paint, focuses on the materiality rendered in layers of paint and through the work, he suggests a new way of looking at pictures. In Dot, he turns his attention to the layers of paint in the pointillist painting, while in Dipping, he magnifies the mixture of colors on the picture plane, recreating layers of paint, a condition created when one applies colors using swift brushstrokes on the wet surface.
