KISHO KAKUTANI

Obtained a doctoral degree (Fine Arts) from the Tokyo University of the Arts, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Post-doctoral Program, Specialization in Fine Arts, Japanese Painting in 2022.


Kakutani’s main subject matter is landscapes photographed with his smartphone.
Many of the landscapes in his artworks are fragments of everyday life.
It is based on the idea that reality comes from the accumulation of people’s experiences.

And some are expressed indistinctly, as if filtered.
It has a structure that allows the viewer to recall and complement the scenery from his or her own memories and experiences.

This exhibition explores the possibility of reality brought about by “invisibility” through Kisho Kakutani’s artworks.

The “Fog” series, which will be presented for the first time at this exhibition, focuses on the theme of human visual and mental processes: “What do we capture and what do we miss?”
In the scenery we usually see, there are many areas where we interpret the information we have captured in a vague and convenient manner, even if we are not consciously aware of it.
In this series, the artist expresses this sensation by painting with paint, presenting it as an incomplete view of “as it is”.
The viewer is reintroduced to a landscape that he or she may or may not have seen
We hope that Kisho Kakutani’s artworks will provide an opportunity to reconsider the reality that we are usually aware of, and to illuminate our own memories and experiences.
