Koji Kakinuma - Artist in Residence
April 23-27, 2007
Mr. Kakinuma is world renowned for being one of Japan's leading monochromatic brushwork artists. His execution of massively large pieces along with his frequent collaborations with musical groups in performance art demonstrations have caught the eye of traditional and modern artists alike and his popularity in Japan has reached cult status.
Kakinuma truly expresses himself through what he calls, "The Eternal Now." This form of art represents a one-shot, winner-take-all sensibility that permits no uncertainty and no hesitation and allows no regrets and no revisions. It is the quintessential expression of Japanese art bringing together the years of tedious, repetitive study of technique and theory with the dynamism of the psycho-spiritual energy manifesting itself at a specific instant in time.
