Kisho Kakutani defines his creation as "the tool that allows people to imagine." Depictions resembling the "frosted glass" in the "Frosted Window series" and the "curtain" in the "Curtain series" function as "noise," where the work and the gaze of others intertwine. This sense of incompatibility stimulates the viewer's imagination; conversely, it evokes scenes in their mind's eye and forms a unique "reality" that each one holds. Kakutani's landscapes, which embrace ambiguity by using the blurred characteristics of snapshots or adopting mediums with high water content, quietly capture the viewer's everyday life while simultaneously hinting at the ongoing state of Japan at its core.
Born in Kobe in 1993, Kakutani completed the doctoral course in Japanese Painting at the graduate school of the Tokyo University of the Arts in 2022 (Ph.D. in Fine Arts).
