Katsuhisa Sato
Maki Fine Arts is pleased to present KARA / KUU / SORA – PPA, a solo exhibition of new artworks by Katsuhisa Sato to be held from September 14 (Sat) until October 13 (Sun).
Sato’s works have exploited the system and format of painting as their subject matter to explore the relationship between color and form. While his playful and humorous works exude lightness, the paradox hidden inside them provokes thoughts about the state of painting.
The exhibited new paintings, created using the staining technique, contain perspective rectangles that are repeated in the same configuration with partial overlaps. The overlapped areas consist of blends of the two colors and simple composition. The resulting pieces are described by Sato as “paintings anyone could create.” “True masterpieces are born when you fully understand where you stand and strive to infuse your works with your ideas and copious knowledge but ultimately leave behind all of them.” Sato’s paradoxical theorem is captured in the works’ title, Uwa no Sora [absence of mind] .
We invite you to experience the tension created on canvas by autonomous forms, the rich variations produced by changing brushstrokes, and the chromatic rhythm generated by a large volume of juxtaposed pieces.
