TN832-D | Hachiro Kanno

Ajouté : 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]TN832-D is a work by Hachiro Kanno, a Japanese painter born in 1944 into a family of calligraphers.

[00:00:07]Throughout his career, Kanno has explored the same creative terrain, the realm where traditional calligraphy becomes a contemporary pictorial language.

[00:00:14]Having been based in Paris since the late 1960s, Kanno has developed a unique visual style characterised by swift or restrained gestures, as well as tension and pauses.

[00:00:23]In TN832-D, created in 2022, the canvas becomes a space in which the line reveals rather than describes.

[00:00:30]We perceive the force of the gesture and its silences, the solids and voids, shadow and light, and the deep black that engages in dialogue with the blue.

[00:00:38]Using a deliberately limited colour palette, Kanno transforms Japanese heritage into vibrant, almost meditative abstractions.

[00:00:45]The work does not tell a story; it invites us to experience the movement and energy of the artist's creative process.
