2011

About the Item

TN 566 is a unique ink and acrylic on canvas painting by Japanese contemporary artist Hachiro Kanno. The painting is made with acrylic on paper, dimensions are 195 × 97 cm (76.8 × 38.2 in). The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Hachiro Kanno arrived in France in 1968 to complete his studies at the Paris School of Fine Arts. In 1979, he moved into the Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre and has been there ever since. Coming from a long line of traditional calligraphers and raised in the Shinto religion, Kanno transposes timeless themes into abstract, in a more up-to-date and universal way organized around the positive and the negative. The painter draws its resources from Japanese calligraphy and his favourite themes in Zen philosophy. Hachiro Kanno’s painting succeeds in synthesizing his Oriental heritage with western influences. Japanese calligraphy, with its expressive way of tracing each line, constitutes the basis of his approach. The artist transforms it into an abstract writing, a “writing come painting”. Hachiro Kanno uses Japanese ink, acrylic and, for the white, powdered pearl shell which gives his compositions a changing glint depending on the angle of observation. There is in his canvasses the immediately visible and then there’s the gradually revealing.
