LINES
For Kashiwa Sato, the straight line is more than a geometric element—it is the foundation of his philosophy and artistic expression. It embodies a pure form, an ideal beyond visible phenomena. In the natural world, true straight lines do not exist: the movement of water, the branching of trees, and the shape of clouds all flow into organic, curving forms. The straight line, by contrast, is a human construct and a discovered concept —one that has come to symbolize reason and order. Within Kashiwa Sato’s expression, the line is connected to light, and is visualized as color. From a physics perspective, light travels in a straight line through a uniform medium but bends and shifts under refraction, diffraction, and gravity. In other words, while the nature of light is inherently linear, it is also subject to influences from its environment—an interplay that expands the meaning of the straight line beyond its geometric definition. The movement of light along a straight path represents universal order and logic, while its change signifies the fluid multiplicity of reality. The line and light stand at the intersection of logic and sensation, concepts and the transient. In Kashiwa Sato’s perspective, the straight line emerges not merely as a form, but as a primal symbol—one that crystallizes the unwavering purity of the ideal itself.

对佐藤可士和而言,“直线”不仅仅是几何学元素,更是构成其思想与艺术表达的根基,并发挥着举足轻重的作用。作为视觉与思想上的“纯粹形态”,它正是那种存在于可见现象背后的纯粹理念。在自然界里,直线几乎无迹可循,水的流动、树的伸展、云的变幻等,诸般万象基本上都以曲线形式和有机形态而得以呈现。相对于此,直线是人类所发现并构建的概念,承担着“理性象征”的角色。在佐藤可士和的艺术表达之中,直线通过与“光”的结合构成形象,并以色彩的形式实现可视化。从物理学角度审视这一关系时便可得知,光在均匀的介质中以直线方式传播,但其路径则会因折射或衍射,甚至重力的影响而发生变化。换言之,光虽然本质上是直线性的,但也具有因环境因素而发生蜕变的特性。这一物理特性,不会把光与直线的关系限定在单纯的几何学定义范围内,而将为更多义的解读开启大门。光的直线性传播表现了普遍性秩序和逻辑,与此同时,其轨迹的折射和变化,则暗示着对千变万化的及时适应,以及多样性现实的应有状态。直线与光所具有的象征性,处于理性与现实、理念与蜕变的交点之上。而且,它还作为一种根源性的象征,让始终不渝地保持着纯粹的直线理念升华为璀璨的结晶。
