This work is a colored pencil drawing on paper by Shinro Ohtake, created in 1993 and signed by the artist.

The composition features a minimal line drawing that suggests a fragment of an architectural corner or street sign, combined with numbers, text-like marks, and blocks of color. Executed in colored pencil with light gestures of blue, yellow, and brown, the image evokes a fragment of an urban landscape or a visual note taken from everyday surroundings. The simplicity of the lines and the use of open space create a subtle sense of rhythm and spatial tension within the composition.

Shinro Ohtake is known for incorporating fragments of everyday visual culture—such as signage, printed matter, and urban imagery—into his work. His practice often reflects layers of memory, travel, and cultural encounters. This drawing reflects those interests, capturing elements of the city and its visual language through spontaneous lines and color, revealing the observational sensitivity characteristic of Ohtake’s works on paper.
