{"product_id":"zansho-origineel","title":"Zanshō | Original","description":"\u003cp\u003eZanshō (残照), the lingering light of the setting sun. The moment when the landscape grows darker, but a warm glow still hangs in the air. In this painting, I explore that encounter between light and dark. The deep blue-green outer surface encloses a soft, luminous center. One makes the other visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Color Palette\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this piece, I chose a palette in which cool depths and warm tones of light reinforce one another: deep midnight blue and blue-green as enveloping colors, with soft peach, warm coppery tones, and light, creamy nuances in the central field of color. The soft vertical transitions allow the colors to flow slowly into one another. Not a literal depiction of a sunset, but the feeling of the last light remaining visible as darkness approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnique \u0026amp; Material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted with acrylic paint on panel, built up layer by layer. The clean composition with its central field of color is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of ma, the power of the empty space that encloses everything. The dark outer surface gives the warm nuances in the center space to come into their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Floating Effect on the Wall\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have developed my own hanging system for these paintings. The 3 cm wooden block on the back holds the panel straight and parallel to the wall, creating space between the painting and the wall. This makes the work appear to float and creates a spatial 3D effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back is also part of the work: I have painted it Prussian blue. Combined with the distance from the wall, this creates a deep, dark shadow effect that gives the painting extra dimension. Not only the painted front, but also the space behind it contributes to the experience of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 40 × 40 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Acrylic paint on panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUnique original: Hand-signed by Jordy Koumans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is available in two ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollection in Tilburg: personal collection from my studio in Carré, Tilburg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eShipping: carefully packaged and shipped with insurance worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KOJO Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66409580200285,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/8778\/8125\/files\/image_dc800c32-10cc-4b32-9bcc-701a7c64ef55.png?v=1794050775","url":"https:\/\/www.kojoart.com\/en\/products\/zansho-origineel","provider":"KOJO Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
