Kenzō Takada
The four seasons. 4 big portraits of women by fashion designer Kenzo

2008

About the Item

Kenzo's ode to the four seasons was part of his third art exhibition, composed of paintings, sculptures and collages that have already been exhibited in Germany and Morocco with great success. Kenzo Takada's painting style is a vibrant fusion of Eastern and Western influences. His works are characterized by a fearless and dynamic use of color, often featuring bold and vivid palettes. Influenced by his Japanese heritage, Takada incorporates elements of traditional Japanese art, such as delicate brushwork, references to nature, and a sense of balance and harmony. In his work he worships women, beauty and fashion, but he also pays homage to the greatest references of painting such as Monet, Pollock, Fontana and Picasso. Takada's paintings lean towards abstraction and expressionism, employing gestural brushstrokes to convey emotion and energy. He was not afraid to experiment with different techniques, using layering, texture play, and unconventional applications of paint. Nature is a recurring theme in his works, with depictions of flowers, landscapes, and animals. There's a palpable sense of movement and flow, contributing to the dynamic quality of his art. A cultural fusion is evident in Takada's paintings, reflecting his exposure to both Japanese and Western cultures. This unique visual language resonates with a global audience. His works serve as a form of personal expression, allowing him to explore creativity beyond the realm of fashion. They provide an intimate glimpse into his artistic sensibilities, communicating his emotions and ideas.
