About the Item
Mitsumasa Kadota’s "Camphor" (2024) is a dynamic and expressive painting that encapsulates the artist’s ongoing exploration of movement, texture, and organic transformation. Executed with acrylic and carborundum on cotton, this large-scale composition is a vibrant dialogue between controlled gestures and spontaneous fluidity. The title, "Camphor", may reference the resilience of nature, inspired by Kadota’s own childhood memories of a fallen camphor tree that continued to thrive despite adversity—an enduring metaphor for regeneration and reinvention.
Kadota’s signature technique is on full display in "Camphor". Broad, sweeping strokes of emerald green, deep violet, electric blue, and luminous yellow intersect and fold into each other, creating an intricate interplay of energy and direction. The use of carborundum introduces a granular texture that contrasts with the smooth, glossy layers of acrylic, resulting in a multi-dimensional surface that interacts dynamically with light.
This work is a testament to Kadota’s mastery of abstraction—his ability to balance intense movement with a precise sense of composition. The layered application of paint gives the illusion of expansion beyond the confines of the canvas, drawing the viewer into its fluid, almost sculptural depth.
Kadota’s paintings have been exhibited at prestigious venues such as Lincoln Center in New York and the Sezon Museum of Modern Art in Japan. His innovative approach to abstraction, combined with his distinctive use of texture and material, has earned him international recognition.
"Camphor", created in 2024, represents a powerful continuation of his artistic evolution. Its size (194.3 × 162 cm) makes it an immersive work that transforms the space it inhabits. Collectors who appreciate abstract art that merges material experimentation with emotional resonance will find this piece particularly compelling.
In person, "Camphor" radiates a sense of movement and transformation. The paint appears to have been applied with sweeping, gestural force, creating a sense of natural motion—akin to wind bending branches or water carving through stone. Vibrant bands of color fold into one another, creating a complex layering effect that gives the composition both depth and fluidity.
The carborundum-infused areas introduce a contrasting texture, where light catches the surface differently depending on the angle of view. This gives the painting a shifting presence—one that evolves depending on the surrounding environment and lighting conditions. The large format enhances its immersive quality, allowing the viewer to feel enveloped by its rhythmic energy.
Kadota’s "Camphor" is a compelling statement piece that invites both visual exploration and introspective reflection. Its fluid composition, textural complexity, and emotive depth make it a remarkable addition to any collection. This painting embodies the essence of transformation—capturing both the force of change and the resilience of form.
