As Ulysses
MutabilisArte inaugurates an exhibition dedicated to the extraordinarily poetic work of Horiki Katsutomi, a tribute to the refined Japanese painter...
Horiki in Turin
Inaugura la nuova mostra di Horiki dedicata alla serie di pitture dell’Odissea presso la galleria Weber & Weber di Torino, in occasione della quale dell’artista si presentano una decina di grandi tele che si fanno portavoce della ricerca pittorica alla quale si è dedicato: un’indagine assorta nella meditazione sull’essenza ultima della pittura, sul suo statuto ontologico.
Anatomy of the Restlessness
With the precious chromatic texture of the canvas "Ulisse bianco II" (White Ulysses II), the exhibition "Anatomia dell'inquietudine" (Anatomy of the Restlessness) by the refined Japanese painter Horiki Katsutomi opens on Monday 20 February
The Moon and the Future. Letter to the Motherland
Non è un espressionista appassionato, ma le sue tele, in cui esprime il proprio stato d’animo, danno un senso di innocenza, esprimendo il suo stato d’animo tranquillo, che si basa sulla sua essenzialità.
In memory of a great artist philosopher
I met Horiki as a child in 1970 in a mountain hotel. He knew my father Gino Balzola (1927-1983) as an artist and then, from mutual esteem, a long and fruitful friendship was born between them. I was immediately attracted by his proud and silent personality; he measured his words and was still learning the Italian language having recently arrived in Italy.
Back to «Ithaca»
The artist, who left the Far East a long time ago and landed in a minimalist corner of the Piedmont countryside, gives us an abstract painting, far from the figurative image that imposes an interpretation on us.
