About the Item
Mitsumasa Kadota’s "Essence" (2023) is a striking composition that encapsulates the core of his artistic philosophy—an exploration of movement, texture, and color that transcends conventional abstraction. Executed with acrylic and carborundum on cotton, this work radiates energy and depth, creating a mesmerizing interplay of fluid forms and dynamic hues. The title, "Essence", suggests a distillation of Kadota’s signature style, an invitation to engage with the fundamental forces that drive both art and perception.
Kadota’s ability to manipulate color and material is fully realized in "Essence". Vivid streaks of yellow, green, blue, and white seem to stretch and twist across the canvas, forming a rhythmic composition that conveys both structure and spontaneity. His use of carborundum introduces a subtle yet compelling textural element, giving the painting a tactile quality that changes depending on light and angle.
Unlike static abstract works, "Essence" is alive with movement, capturing the fleeting nature of energy and transformation. Each brushstroke feels intentional yet organic, creating an immersive visual experience that evolves with every glance.
Kadota’s work has been exhibited internationally, including prestigious venues such as Lincoln Center in New York and the Sezon Museum of Modern Art in Japan. His unique fusion of material experimentation and conceptual depth has made him a sought-after contemporary artist whose works continue to captivate collectors worldwide.
Created in 2023, "Essence" represents a recent development in Kadota’s exploration of color and texture. Its size (194.2 × 97.3 cm) makes it a commanding yet harmonious presence, suitable for both intimate and expansive spaces. The vertical format enhances its fluid composition, guiding the viewer’s eye through its intricate layers of movement and depth.
In person, "Essence" is visually and texturally dynamic. The paint appears to have been applied in sweeping, gestural strokes that create a sense of motion, as if the colors are flowing across the canvas. Vibrant greens, deep blues, luminous yellows, and crisp whites blend seamlessly yet maintain distinct, expressive edges. The surface texture, enhanced by the carborundum, catches the light, adding another layer of dimensionality that shifts with the viewer’s perspective.
There is an undeniable physicality to the work—the depth of the brushstrokes, the interplay of smooth and granular textures, and the overall sense of controlled fluidity. This makes it an artwork that invites close inspection, offering new details and interpretations each time it is viewed.
Kadota’s "Essence" is a remarkable example of his ability to translate movement and emotion into pure color and form. With its fluid composition, textural richness, and evolving depth, it offers an engaging visual experience that remains dynamic over time. This piece stands as a testament to the artist’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of contemporary abstraction, making it a compelling addition to any collection.
