Artworks by KAZUHIKO

Hello. My name is KAZUHIKO (Kazuhiko Kakegawa). I am an artist currently based in Japan. I began my career immediately after graduating from art college in 1989, and have been working as an artist ever since. My theme: In the world of art, the term ‘drawing’ carries a profound and abstract meaning. Exploring the question ‘What is drawing?’ has been, and will continue to be, the unwavering central theme of my work—from the very day I embarked on my artistic journey to the present day, and into the future. To delve deeper into this theme, during my twenties and thirties, I shifted my artistic practice from oil painting to printmaking, and then on to video installations. Following a decade of experimental production and exhibition centred on the exploration of drawing, I returned to oil painting around 2005. Since then, I have established my current artistic style. What kind of work I hope to create in the future: My aspiration is to produce works of quality and depth, such that each viewing reveals something new and each encounter adds fresh layers of meaning to their value. I sincerely hope that such works will find their way into the hands of all those who truly love art.
