Kazuki Takamatsu is okay! I was worried because his hometown was hit really  badly by the tsunami. Then I hadn't seen anything about him online for a while. I would love to  be able to see this show, but I'll have to content myself with looking online. Whew! Kazuki Takamatsu is okay!

I'm pretty sure it's a depth map, which is used in 3D animation compositing to simulate all kinds of effects, such as depth of field in virtual cameras, and tells 2D layers where things are in Z space. I'm guessing the artist setup the shot in a 3D application, output the depth map, created outlines for each level of grey in photoshop or illustrator, and printed them out as guides using a giclée process. Then the artist painted in the grey fields using the acrylics. It's a really neat way to "cheat." I use this process myself to set up elaborate compositions where I want high level of detail and precision which I know I can't achieve with freehand drawing. I love that painting.
