Atsuo Hukuda has shown his Color and Monochrome paintings at Hebel_121 for the first time in 2005, together with Kenzo Onoda, a light and performance artist also from Japan. Atsuo Hukuda has been producing his Color and Monochrome works since 1990. In his one man show at Hebel_121, he will present a new development in his work.
Atsuo Hukuda is engaged in bringing together old traditional Japanese painting with his own chosen contemporary idea of painting. Old and new work have the same importance for him, and he does not make any difference. He is choosing gold foil as one of the antique colors of Japan, and together with the transparent color of his own choice, which is changing its appearance as time goes by. He is creating works of reflection and transparency.
