KASHIWA SATO

FLOW

In an instant, a vivid splash of blue pigment bursts onto pure white Japanese washi paper—this is FLOW by Kashiwa Sato. Using a large brush saturated with blue mineral pigment, Sato delivers a single, decisive blow with his entire body. The moment the brush is swung, the pigment takes flight through space, tracing unpredictable, spontaneous arcs before being captured by the washi. Directed by forces of nature—velocity and gravity—the fleeting motion is made eternal, frozen in time. FLOW is a drawing without a brushstroke—a raw, organic abstraction where chance and the laws of physics intersect, free from the artist’s intent. It is an attempt to visualize the forces of nature that are beyond human control. What emerges on the paper is not a crafted line, but a form born of nature—its subtle textures and delicate expressions impossible to reproduce by hand. FLOW is an art of the moment where chance gives rise to the inevitable, where the laws of nature dictate form. It is positioned as an inquiry into the unseen forces that shape our world.

鲜艳醒目的蓝色颜料于一瞬之间飞溅在洁白的和纸上——这就是以独具匠心的表现手法横空出世的《FLOW》。佐藤可士和用巨笔饱蘸蓝色岩彩,凝聚全身之力,宛若电光一闪,于挥洒之中将其制作而成。在此系列作品之中,画笔并未直接触及纸面,颜料从笔尖释放到空中,在重力和动量的作用下灵动飞泻、跃然纸上。这一瞬间的行为,在自然之力——“动力与重力”的牵引下转瞬凝止,锁于时光之中,从而获得永恒。未遗笔迹的画作《FLOW》,是一种有机的抽象表达,由超出创作者意图的偶然性与物理法则不期相遇、交织而成,也是对无法完全控制的“自然之力”进行可视化的尝试。佐藤挥动画笔的那一刹那,蓝色颜料活力四溢,划破空间任意飞翔,描画出全无规则且不可预测的轨迹,在和纸上留下无法再现的痕迹。通过画笔本身不触及纸张的手法,使创作者的身体能量直接转化为作品,凝聚成逾越笔致的纯粹的运动痕迹。于是,呈现在和纸上的便是超越人意、由自然本身亲手造化而成的形象,展现出人手之技无法复刻的细腻表情。《FLOW》是偶然和必然交相辉映、交会而成的瞬间艺术,其属性定位是:映照出自然法则本身的绘画性探索。
