Hiroshi Sato"Lone" - Contemporary Figurative Oil Painting with Light and Shadow2025
2025
About the Item
Hiroshi Sato’s "Lone" (2025) is a masterful oil painting that captures a moment of quiet introspection within an interior space. Measuring 46 x 60 inches, this large-scale work exemplifies Sato’s signature approach to light, form, and spatial composition. A seated figure at a reception desk leans forward, lost in thought, while another figure stands by a sunlit window, gazing outward. The interplay of geometric abstraction and realism heightens the painting’s contemplative mood, with strong angular shadows and warm, diffused light creating an atmosphere of solitude and reflection.
Sato’s technique is evident in his structured yet painterly brushwork, where the careful arrangement of color planes and value shifts define the space and its inhabitants. The cool interior tones contrast with the vibrant warmth of the sunlit exterior, subtly reinforcing the psychological and emotional undercurrents of the composition.
An evocative contemporary figurative piece, "Lone" is an excellent acquisition for collectors of modern realism and narrative-based painting. This original oil painting is signed by the artist and unframed, allowing the buyer to select a presentation that best suits their space.
Artist Bio & Statement:
Hiroshi Sato was born September 1987 in Japan. From the age of three to fourteen he spent his childhood in Tanzania. While there, he recognized where he lived was not home, and where he called home was some place he hardly ever knew. From a very young age, he understood he was not a participant of his surroundings. Therefore, his role was of an observer. This recognition and his exposure to alternate cultures, class, wealth, language is his backdrop to his interest in perception and how it is explored in the singular image.
He enrolled in the fine-arts program at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, graduating with a Bachelors and Masters in Fine Art.
Hiroshi Sato is focused on contemporary realist oil painting. He is best known for paintings of figures in an interior environment. He draws influence from past and present artists including Vermeer, Degas, Andrew Wyeth, Euan Uglow, Hopper and Chuck Close. Sato’s work shows his interest in geometric design principles of the old masters and is currently exploring the simultaneous illusion of form and flatness in space. His goal is to portray, and better understand our various states of consciousness within ourselves through the visual medium.
Hiroshi Sato’s work has been featured in various publications such as Fine Art Connoisseur, Juxtapoz Magazine, Visual Art Source and Art Business News Magazine.

Hiroshi Sato, born in September 1987 in Japan, is a distinguished contemporary artist known for his realist paintings that delve into human consciousness and the interaction between mind and environment. From the age of three to fourteen, Sato spent his childhood in Tanzania, where he developed a keen sense of observation, understanding that he was not a participant in his surroundings but an observer. This perspective, combined with his exposure to diverse cultures, class, wealth, and languages, forms the backdrop of his interest in perception. A finalist for the Rise Art Prize 2018, Sato's work draws comparisons to Cezanne, Hopper, and Vermeer while maintaining a unique personal style. Influenced by Chuck Close, Euan Uglow, Johannes Vermeer, Edward Hopper, and Andrew Wyeth, Sato's paintings are technically excellent and narratively rich, often set in interior environments to create cohesive and compelling scenes. Based in San Francisco's Mission District, Sato continues to captivate audiences with his thoughtful and introspective approach to painting.
