Mitsumasa Kadota’s "Imaginary" (2024) is an evocative composition that captures the essence of movement, depth, and transformation. This piece, created using acrylic and carborundum on cotton, is a testament to the artist’s ability to manipulate color and texture to create a visual experience that transcends the static nature of traditional painting. The title, "Imaginary", suggests an invitation into a world shaped by perception—one where fluid motion and layered hues evoke endless interpretations.
Kadota’s mastery of gestural abstraction is evident in "Imaginary". The painting features sweeping, interwoven strokes of golden yellow, deep violet, and rich burgundy, intersected by crisp whites and muted greens. These colors do not simply coexist; they fold into one another, creating a dynamic sense of movement that makes the surface feel alive.
