To highlight the style's strenghts and features, we run each SREF code through a set of 16 standardized prompts—Midlibrary Benchmark. Each prompt demonstrates how the SREF ”behaves“ in various domains of visual art/applications.
Kazuo Shiraga was a Japanese artist known for his innovative contributions to the Gutai group, an avant-garde collective in post-war Japan. He is celebrated for his dynamic and physical approach to painting, often using his feet to create bold, expressive works. Shiraga's art is characterized by its energetic brushstrokes and vibrant color palette, reflecting the spirit of experimentation and freedom that defined the Gutai movement.
Kazuo Shiraga's Midjourney style is marked by bold, abstract compositions that emphasize motion and energy. The use of broad brushstrokes and vivid colors like red, black, and white create a sense of intensity and dynamism. The paintings often feature circular forms and asymmetrical designs, with textured surfaces and dripping paint adding to the chaotic yet controlled aesthetic. This style captures the essence of gestural abstraction, reflecting Shiraga's innovative techniques and the influence of the Japanese avant-garde.
