I very much enjoyed your brief review of Shinro Ohtake's work but I wonder about whether 'color is the starting point.' Arguably, color serves in a manner that is quite the opposite or at least in tension with memory - as you indicate towards the close of your review. Memory threatens to overwhelm the artist, color serves to invoke but contain memory by virtue of its aesthetic properties.
