Series of White Pianting, 善悪の荒野ほか作品図像と6本の論考を、図録と小型論考集(英・日)の三部構成で収録。
“White Paintingシリーズは、愛と記憶にまつわる移動式の礼拝建築である。
そしてモノクローム絵画を、アイコニックでありながらも、「ポータル(場)」とモノの中間地点に位置する不確かな場所へと戻す存在なのだ。”
ディヴィッド・ギアーズ (オクトーバー誌、フリーズ他に寄稿する批評家) 論考「Passion in monochrome」にて 6 theses by an art critic who contributes his writing to October and
among other places etc.
“THE EUGENE Studio’s White Painting series (…) transforming the canvases into nomadic shrines to love and memory… .
White Painting series returns the monochrome to its iconic if uncertain place between a portal and a thing.”

The work reproduced a pure white room in the final scenes of Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey” and made it go through the process of destruction. Within a large glass case are dust-covered chairs, a bed, cabinets, chipped marble pillars, oil painting, and other weathered items which appear to be from an old forgotten room.

Goldrain
“Goldrain” is a sculptural work that showers 0.1mm micro golden particles from the sky. This artwork had been envisaged from 2018, exploring the theme of “creation of the earth”. These fragments are sensitive enough to be finely affected by imperceptible movements. However, once they accumulate, these microscopic grains cover the water surface like the earth. “Goldrain” is a sculptural work that showers 0.1mm micro golden particles from the sky.
