Presentation of the work:
A superb original silkscreen of geometric abstraction made in Paris in 1974 by the Japanese artist Satoru Satō. This iconic work from his early 1970s research rests on a rigorous optical balance: a central vertical beam of bold chromatic bands (sky blue, white, green, black and orange-red) divides and energizes two broad fields of a deep black. Through this play of rhythmic contrasts and sharp lines, the artist creates a glowingly luminous and spatial vibration effect characteristic of concrete and kinetic art. A copy from the same 1974 series is in the French public collections (Centre national des arts plastiques – CNAP).

Biography of the artist:
Born in 1945 in Tome (Miyagi prefecture, Japan), Satoru Satō is a major painter, sculptor, and printmaker of contemporary geometric abstraction. A graduate of the Tokyo University of the Arts, he settled in Paris in 1970 and continued his training at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in the atelier of Gustave Singier.
In 1973, decisive encounters with historical figures of abstraction such as Michel Seuphor, Aurélie Nemours, and Jean Leppien definitively steered his work toward constructed and concrete art. He joined the MADI movement in 1975 and has regularly shown at international fairs (Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, Salon de Mai, Grands et Jeunes d'Aujourd'hui) as well as in many galleries across Europe, Latin America, and Japan. Also known for his monumental sculptures integrated into architecture and landscape (in France, Portugal, Venezuela, and Japan), he has since 2007 a museum devoted to his work in his hometown: the Satoru Sato Art Museum.
