THE TOPOGRAPHY OF VELOCITY
Monumental in scale, visceral in spirit. Tilsitt Gallery is proud to present manifold F (2021) by the Japanese master of materiality, Mitsumasa Kadota.
Spanning a staggering 2595 x 1940 mm, manifold F is not merely a painting; it is a tectonic event captured on cotton. Kadota’s signature use of Carborundum, an industrial silicon carbide, transforms the canvas into a high-relief landscape where color possesses physical weight and abrasive friction.
The work oscillates between controlled chaos and rhythmic precision. Sweeping arcs of primary reds and electric yellows collide with deep chromatic shadows, creating a « manifold » of sensory frequencies. By fusing the fluid grace of Japanese abstraction with the gritty, industrial substance of the carborundum, Kadota invites the collector to experience art as a three-dimensional force of nature.
In the quiet discipline of the gallery or the expansive light of a private estate, manifold F commands the room, demanding a dialogue between the viewer and the sheer kinetic energy of the medium.
