Description: Verdedemonstrates influence from Gutai in both the textural green fields and the calligraphic scrawls, reminiscent of Japanese characters. Fukushima explores varying shades of green from a gestural, teal quadrilateral at center to the rich, aqueous green at top and a lighter, yellower green at bottom. To the left, a murky green passage merges into the central form. Fukushima’s title emphasizes the essential physical character of the painting, an arrangement of varying shades of green, in order to emphasize the materials. -Text by Cierra Frances
