Mitsumasa Kadota
Last, Mitsumasa Kadota

2023

About the Item

Mitsumasa Kadota’s "Last" (2023) is a vibrant and dynamic composition that exemplifies his signature exploration of movement, texture, and the interplay of color. Created with acrylic and carborundum on cotton, this painting captures a sense of motion and transformation, as if colors are in constant flux. The title, "Last", suggests a moment of culmination—an arrival at a form that feels both complete and open to interpretation. Kadota’s technique in "Last" demonstrates his exceptional control over color and fluidity. The composition features bold streaks of golden yellow, deep blue, rich purple, and fiery red, layered in a way that creates a striking sense of depth. The sweeping brushstrokes seem to converge and expand, giving the painting an almost sculptural presence. The incorporation of carborundum adds a textured dimension that enhances the contrast between smooth, flowing areas and more granular sections. This interplay allows light to interact with the surface, making the painting appear to shift and reveal new details depending on the angle of view. Kadota’s works are exhibited internationally in institutions such as Lincoln Center in New York and the Sezon Museum of Modern Art in Japan. His unique approach to abstract painting—blending material innovation with gestural expression—has positioned him as a significant figure in contemporary art. "Last", created in 2023, is a compelling example of Kadota’s mastery of layered abstraction. Its dimensions (73 × 61 cm) make it a versatile piece, suitable for both intimate and expansive spaces. Collectors drawn to works that continually evolve with time and light will find this painting particularly engaging. In person, "Last" radiates energy. The colors appear to be in motion, folding and flowing into one another with a sense of controlled spontaneity. The transitions between warm and cool tones create a rhythmic tension, while the layered brushstrokes introduce depth and complexity. The carborundum-infused texture gives the painting a unique surface quality, with areas that catch light differently, creating subtle variations in color and contrast. The work is highly immersive, drawing the viewer into its fluid composition, where each glance reveals something new. Kadota’s "Last" is a striking work that embodies his signature movement, texture, and energy. Its dynamic composition and interplay of color make it a compelling addition to any collection—an artwork that continues to reveal new facets with every viewing.
