“Silences are precious times to be shared, not empty spaces to be filled with words.”

jaggedart are delighted to introduce a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Kazuhito Takadoi. Kazuhito Takadoi’s exquisite works are full of dichotomies: his work is both minimal, yet opulent. It is simulataneously fragile yet has strength, and it combines the formality of Eastern discipline with abstraction from Western art.

Inspired by the rich woodland surrounding his birthplace of Nagoya, Japan. Kazuhito grows and hand picks grasses, leaves, and twigs from his garden, sowing each blade through the paper while the grass is moist and flexible. As the grasses dry and mature they embark on a subtle colour shift, comparative to seasonal change. Geometric in form they are organic in substance and contain no preservatives, additives or colourings.
