Work Description

Yujiro Ueno employs vivid color and forceful brushwork to construct a field of intense yet poetic energy, evoking the inner vitality of living beings and the flow of time. Within the composition, two dragons coil and entwine within a vortex of red and blue. Their forms are built from layered, fractured, and fluid strokes, merging like fire and water in a continuous process of transformation.


The interplay of warm and cool tones generates a powerful visual tension, suggesting both conflict and force, while subtly embodying the philosophical balance of yin and yang. In this work, the traditional symbol of the Eastern dragon is reimagined through a contemporary visual language that oscillates between abstraction and figuration.


Immersive and dynamic, the composition draws the viewer into a cosmic current, where surging vitality and fleeting poetic moments unfold in perpetual motion. Double Dragons captures not just the image of the dragon, but the raw, uncontainable energy of life itself.
