Mitsumasa Kadota
Green

2019

About the Item

Mitsumasa Kadota’s "Green" (2019) is a mesmerizing composition that bridges abstraction and organic movement. Executed with acrylic and carborundum on cotton, this work captures a sense of vitality, reminiscent of lush landscapes or fleeting moments in nature. The title, "Green", suggests a connection to renewal, growth, and the immersive power of color. Kadota’s signature gestural technique is fully realized in "Green". The vertical brushstrokes create a cascading effect, as if the colors are dripping or merging like foliage in motion. Deep forest greens are juxtaposed against bursts of luminous yellow, fiery red, and soft pink, creating an interplay between light and shadow. The presence of black adds depth, anchoring the composition and enhancing the contrast of vibrant hues. The use of carborundum introduces a distinctive texture that enhances the painting’s materiality. This subtle roughness allows different areas to absorb or reflect light, making the work appear to shift and transform depending on the viewer’s perspective. The result is a visually dynamic piece that evolves throughout the day. Kadota’s work has been exhibited internationally at institutions such as Lincoln Center in New York and the Sezon Museum of Modern Art in Japan. His approach to abstraction—merging material experimentation with fluid expression—has positioned him as an influential contemporary artist. "Green", created in 2019, is an excellent example of Kadota’s exploration of movement and texture. The square format (80.3 × 80.5 cm) enhances the sense of balance within the composition, making it a striking addition to any collection. It invites the viewer to engage with the work repeatedly, discovering new depths with each encounter. In person, "Green" exudes an organic energy, as if the paint itself is alive. The vertical streaks of color create a sense of falling, growing, or flowing, evoking natural elements such as rain on foliage, fire in motion, or the blurred impression of a dense forest. The color transitions are seamless yet bold, with each hue maintaining its own intensity while contributing to the overall movement. The textured surface, enriched by carborundum, gives the painting a dynamic interplay with light. Some areas appear almost velvety, absorbing shadows, while others catch highlights, creating a shifting perception that changes depending on the surrounding environment. Kadota’s "Green" is a powerful reflection of nature’s energy, rendered in pure abstraction. Its layered depth, striking contrasts, and immersive texture make it an exceptional addition to any collection—an artwork that continuously reveals new perspectives and emotions over time.
