Kozo Okano
This retrospective marks 10 years since the passing away of abstract artist Kozo Okano. Born in Okayama, Okano, after graduating from Tokyo University of the Arts, traveled to Spain and built up an acclaimed career in the field of abstract painting. While fiercely confronting the isolation of the self, he created dazzlingly detailed, honest paintings of uncompromising color, line and form. His unique expression, born from the subconscious surpasses the man-made to grasp a life of its own amongst which may be discerned something of the primeval, linking a certain sensibility and eroticism in his abstract surfaces. This exhibition offers the opportunity to encounter this “ultimate painting” in the final leg of its tour across Spain, Okayama and Tokyo.

Venue: 1・3・4F
