Hiroshi Sato
"Pass" - Oil on Canvas Contemporary Figurative Streetscape Painting 2024

2024

About the Item

Hiroshi Sato’s "Pass" (2024) is a monumental original oil on canvas that exemplifies his precisionist approach to contemporary figurative painting. Measuring 38 x 90 inches, this panoramic work presents a solitary male figure standing at the threshold of a broad, empty intersection, absorbed in contemplation as vast open land stretches toward the horizon. The cinematic composition evokes feelings of stillness and introspection, while its architectural edges and atmospheric color harmonies reflect Sato’s mastery of form and light. Rendered with carefully modulated brushwork, "Pass" is a vivid study in geometry and tonal contrast. Cool blue shadows carve out angular shapes across the streetscape, while soft gradients of orange and ochre recede into the background, hinting at the quiet vastness of the American West. Sato uses color blocking and subtle tonal variation to manipulate perspective, guiding the viewer’s gaze through layers of space and time. Born in Japan and trained in the United States, Sato often blends Eastern minimalism with Western realism, and this piece continues his exploration of stillness within the contemporary landscape. "Pass" is unframed but ready to hang, offering collectors an opportunity to acquire a commanding and contemplative statement work from one of today’s leading figurative painters.

"Christmas Decoration" - Abstract Midwest Town Painting by Hiroshi Sato
Located in Denver, CO
Introducing Hiroshi Sato's "Christmas Decoration," an original oil on canvas from his compelling solo exhibition 'Midwest', which runs from April 26 to May 14, 2024. This piece, measuring 26 x 30 inches, is an exploration of the Midwest, painted against a backdrop of the Christmas season. The artwork is vibrant, utilizing abstract strokes to convey urban and rural dichotomies and the pressures of modern existence, reflecting on our ceaseless digital engagement. "Christmas Decoration" is unframed but ready to hang, offering a poignant glimpse into the modern American landscape through Sato's distinctive lens. 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...
