Kazuhito Takadoi
jaggedart at The London Art Fair. 17-21 January 2013
'Maru,' Mixed media
Inspired by the rich woodland surrounding his birthplace ofNagoya,Japan, Kazuhito grows and hand picks grasses, leaves and twigs from his garden, sowing each blade through the paper. As the grasses dry and mature they embark on a subtle colour shift, comparative to seasonal change. Kazuhito’s exquisite works are full of dichotomies: His work is both minimal, yet opulent. It is simultaneously fragile yet has strength, and combines the formality of Eastern discipline with abstraction from Western art. Kazuhito trained in Agriculture and Horticulture inJapantheUSand in theUK, before studying Art and Garden Design. jaggedart is known for its unique and very definite style.
