Item Description: This artwork titled "Sleeping Castle" (眠れる城), created in 2015 by Japanese artist Yuri Okuno (奥野由利), is an intriguing mixed media piece that merges subtle texture with layered gradients. The composition transitions from a pale ivory base to a deep, earthy black at the top, invoking a sense of dusk or descent into slumber—aptly matching the title. Fine linear cracks and textured granules across the surface enhance the depth and organic quality of the work. The piece demonstrates both restraint and complexity, inviting the viewer to a contemplative experience. The back of the canvas bears the artist’s signature, confirming its authenticity.
