As it is made of cardboard (with a fine gold border), it is an easy-to-handle object – at the very least, it can simply be fixed to the wall, or it can be turned into a wall decoration by placing it in a roll-up picture mount designed specifically for shiki (which works like a clip-on frame).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis shiki is monumental, and as it is a major work, it is also magnificent when presented in a frame. Kokuta loves the powerful, almost architectural line; his paintings always possess a force that immediately captivates the viewer. He often seems to force his lines into the format – in contrast to the love of empty space found in traditional Japanese painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis symbol of the ‘avant-garde’ is as strong as an iron structure – it brings to mind the paintings of P. Soulages and the iron sculptures of E. Chillida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt is strange that the painter is not yet very well known in the West, even though he has become an icon of modern art in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guignard Kyoto Collection","offers":[{"title":"(framed) 49cm x 57cm \/ shiki (Cardboard)","offer_id":56273968038273,"sku":"151215 JB3","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3092\/9452\/files\/IMG_7773.jpg?v=1789555266","url":"https:\/\/guignard-kyoto-collection.ch\/en\/products\/kalligrafie-avantgarde-%e9%ad%81-suda-kokuta-%e9%a0%88%e7%94%b0%e5%89%8b%e5%a4%aa-1906-1990","provider":"Guignard Kyoto Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
