Kakutani’s approach reflects the idea that reality and realization come from the accumulation of people’s experiences.
The landscapes in his artworks are universal and often fragmented fragments of everyday life.
In particular, in the “Frosted Window” and “Curtain” series, some of the details in acrylic paint are rendered as if filtered out and obscured.
It has a structure that is complemented by the viewer’s memory.
These his artworks go beyond mere visual information and are completed by the projection of the viewer’s inner ideas and experiences.
Through visual ambiguity, it is a place where we can reconsider the reality we usually perceive and illuminate our individual memories and experiences.
