Brush Sense of Values

Brush Sense of Values represents a moment of reflection on the passing of time – the trio of subjects showing unwavering optimism in their old age.

Koichi Sato uplifts his lively characters with vibrant menagerie and pattern, basing them upon people he sees daily around his New York neighbourhood. Dense textures and curious polydactyl hands are typical of his practice. Swathes of semi-transparent acrylic hand-finishing creates diffused depth across the subject's skin.

‘Everyday life is very important and precious. Time passes fast and does not come back. I would not want to regret my life.’
