Mitsumasa Kadota
Innocence

2023

About the Item

Mitsumasa Kadota’s "Innocence" (2023) is a luminous and fluid composition that embodies the artist’s signature approach to color, movement, and texture. Created with acrylic and carborundum on cotton, this painting is an exploration of purity, spontaneity, and the organic evolution of form. The title, "Innocence", suggests a moment of unfiltered expression, a visual representation of instinct and freedom. Kadota’s distinctive brushwork is evident in "Innocence", where ribbons of vibrant pink, golden yellow, deep violet, and luminous green cascade across the surface. The sweeping strokes create a sense of organic movement, as if the colors are gently unfurling in a delicate yet energetic dance. The interplay between warm and cool tones enhances the work’s depth, making the composition both striking and harmonious. The inclusion of carborundum adds a subtle textural quality, allowing light to interact differently with various sections of the canvas. This tactile element enhances the sense of layering and dimension, making the painting appear almost sculptural. The result is an ever-evolving visual experience—one that shifts depending on the angle and lighting. Kadota’s works have been exhibited at prestigious institutions such as Lincoln Center in New York and the Sezon Museum of Modern Art in Japan. His ability to translate movement and emotion through abstraction has solidified his place among the most innovative contemporary artists. "Innocence", painted in 2023, is a testament to Kadota’s refined technique and ability to evoke feeling through color and gesture. Its intimate scale (61 × 45.6 cm) allows it to integrate seamlessly into various collections while maintaining its presence as a compelling focal point. In person, "Innocence" radiates a sense of fluidity and vitality. The colors appear to be in constant motion, folding into one another with a natural elegance. The transitions between hues are both seamless and dynamic, creating a layered composition that invites closer inspection. The carborundum-infused surface introduces a textured quality that plays with light, creating a shifting effect as the viewer moves around the piece. This dimensionality adds to the painting’s immersive quality, making it feel both immediate and endlessly revealing. Kadota’s "Innocence" is a striking example of his ability to capture the essence of movement and transformation within a confined space. Its vibrant color palette, fluid brushstrokes, and subtle texture make it a compelling addition to any collection—an artwork that continues to reveal new facets with each viewing.
