Masaaki Hikita Oil Painting Exhibition - The Story of the Eyes -

Masaaki Hikita's cats are drawn by repeated trial and error and pursuit of the free-spirited, elusive, and innocent cats as the exact opposite of what they do not have, and in order to approach their existence, they repeatedly try and fail. Many deformed and characterized cats have appeared in the art market, but this work only approaches the charm of cats and has a dignified wild flavor that will not be lost. Cats have been drawn by many masters such as Tsuguharu Fujita, Harusa Hishida, and Leonardo da Vinci, but among them, Masaaki Hikita's cat has a unique charm. In contrast, the image of a woman is drawn at a certain distance and without seeking too much texture. In realistic paintings, female figures often appear gravitational if the balance is wrong, but among them, Masaaki Hikita's sense of distance does not depend too much on a specific model, but rather on gestures, atmosphere, and symbolism. In this solo exhibition, we will hold a "story that dwells in the eyes", focusing on cat works with impressive clear eyes, which is also a characteristic of Masaaki Hikita. Please take this opportunity to take a look.

I mainly create works with cats and people as motifs. I hope that I can touch someone's heartstrings by sublimating what I am attracted to, what I feel is fleeting and beautiful through my own filter, into my work.
