A culinary journey through Japan, Original Artwork Painting, Watercolor on Paper.
Toyota's top-end sedan "Century" is extremely eccentric, as if it were a flashy remix of decorator, family car, and hearse. As you approach, the voice of "♪Ishiya～kiimo～" and the deep bass of the dub mix echo, and the sweet scent of sweet potatoes wafts through the air. It was a stone-roasted sweet potato vending machine that had crowds of people lining up wherever I went.
Koki Kizaki and Hiromichi Yamawaki's art unit "Yota" will travel around the country in this car. Century converted into a mobile sales vehicle is a work of art named "Kintoki". In addition, the interaction between buyers and onlookers created by actually selling baked sweet potatoes, and the addition of the exotic atmosphere on the street to the scene, can be said to be an artistic activity as a whole.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Leszek Gaczkowski was born and live's in Silesia, Poland. He received a technical education even though from an early age he exhibited a strong interest in music and arts. He also plays guitars. However he gave up his passion to pursue a different path, and now he's returning to it. He believes that painting or any other form of art is an illustration of his ideas. It expresses his feelings, his natural abilities, and the effort often associated with the joy of creating. His artworks including paintings are owned not only by his natural abilities, for which he is hugely grateful but are also the effect of self-study self-improvement, and most of all hard work! His favorite techniques are pastels, oil paints, and watercolors, but he does not stray from charcoal, sepia, and sanguine as well. Pastels are very delicate tools perfect express elusive details such as facial expressions which have lately become one of his favorite pursuits. He focused on capturing feelings and emotions producing his own original style. Among his artworks, we can find both iconic, well-known faces of those known to everyone and those who belong to anonymous people he has met on his way and who have inspired him. Although he has devoted himself to the art of portraits he has never limited himself to this branch area. As a versatile artist, he was always looking for new challenges and inspirations. That let him discover his great passion to paint landscapes and made him very adept in hard and demanding but careful watercolor techniques. Within his own unique style, many of his artworks tie to those of great impressionists he creates his own, paintings but also reinterprets already existing paintings. He displays his artwork in the best-known art galleries which are associated with many artists in Poland. Some of his paintings are also on procurement. They are now decorated, in houses of private collectors in countries such as England, France, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Taiwan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Bahrain, and Poland. This passion for active paintings dates back to 2010. He is very open to suggestions and inspiration and shares his experiences with others willingly.
