Reality -Dancing on the Edge- Sato Masataka Art Collection

About the productJapanese

Covering the eyes of people and painting over the petals. Sato Makoto's motifs are real people and flowers. When he faces the panel, he first copies the motif using only pencil lines with such precision that it could be mistaken for a photograph. Once he has completed his pencil drawing, which fills the entire panel, he boldly paints over his own drawings of "eyes that say too much" and "petals that exaggerate their beauty too much" with colorful, multi-colored acrylic paints. By deliberately covering over the parts of people that are generally considered to be the most beautiful with paint, he expresses the inherent beauty of the motif itself.

Sato is an almost stoic painter who devotes himself to his creative endeavors, but because of his dedication, he is a prolific artist whose new works are awaited by many collectors. As a result, he has few opportunities to exhibit his work, making this collection a valuable one that allows you to enjoy Sato's work all in one place. In addition to photographs of 72 paintings and three-dimensional works, the book also includes a manuscript essay by the up-and-coming art critic Hirotaka Yamamoto (Chuoko Shinsho's "Contemporary Art History" and others), which offers an insight into what the "beauty" he depicts is.
