A pioneer of Japanese abstraction, Yuichi has often been discussed with the likes of Jackson Pollock, in the incorporation of the physical self while painting, as well as the gestural abstraction of Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell. Combining force and full body movements, Yuichi uses ink mixed with glue on Japanese paper to create unique textured effects in each of his compositions. The present lot, FUN (1980) is representative of his most acclaimed single kanji character compositions. Starting from the late 1950s, Yuichi focused on formal experimentation of single characters. With light and dark washes, rhythmic and gestural brushstrokes, Yuichi repeats and executes each composition with distinct and unique variations. During this period across nearly three decades, he ceaselessly practiced repetitions of these characters, where each composition carried a different meaning based on his personal life experiences. Ultimately, Yuichi's creative process is one that is life-inspired, breaking away from the aesthetic value of the character and approaching them with a deeper philosophical approach. His single kanji character compositions serve as the artist's inventive and radical redefinition of traditional calligraphy in which the gestural and structural nature of kanji are emphasized when a single character stands in solitude.
