About the Item
Inukai’s aesthetic of interlocking geometric forms paired with this early hard-edge technique is truly a stroke of genius. The incredible precision he achieves with the light blue bands that sit on top of the white, simultaneously using the very pale blue, shows a creative flair when dealing with small, but weighty decisions. The surface of Four & Six, No. 17 is extraordinary – a real joy to look at closely. The artist’s color combinations are truly unique and would complement any room wonderfully.
Inukai studied at the Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture (1963–1967), which was a major hub for emerging artists and creative exchange during that era. Inspired by New York’s avant-garde movements, Inukai devoted himself to abstraction, utilizing oil and acrylic mediums to create works with strong compositional balance, dynamic brushwork, and vivid colors. These techniques echo the energy of the minimalist, hard edge approach that was ubiquitous at this time.
Inukai’s art bridges Eastern and Western sensibilities, with his abstract painting embodying both the cosmopolitan energy of New York and the nuanced, contemplative qualities of Tokyo life. His career trajectory, moving between these cities, enabled a fusion that is evident in his visual language and approach to composition.
