A cryptic fairytale drifts across the canvas as an airy vortex encircles the transparent gorgeous dots. Like drops of water and

honey, the dots gently hold the girl so as to free her soul from the bounds of gravity, allowing her to comfortably float in the air.

The present lot illuminates a sense of gentle sweetness where the magical journey begins from the hems of the girl's skirt.

Tsukamoto uses the art of perspective to create a three dimensional painting. His unique colors cleverly define the lighting in the piece, giving a sense of weightlessness to the design. The piece also embodies the ambiguity of traditional Japanese art, blurring the lines between the tangible and the abstract and the depth of the figure in contrast to the background. The figure is both surreal and real, flat yet three dimensional. "Flying Girl" leaves a lot of empty space, showing a bright and transparent view with the charm of Western impressionism. The viewer can easily recognize the artist's creative design.

Upon a closer examination of the painting, the eyes drift from point to point, in and out of focus. The movement between the

points gives the viewer a sense of being in a fragrant forest on a peace ful afternoon. A step into this magical realm sends the

viewer on a mysterious adventure across the canvas.
