About the Item
TN 902-D is a unique painting by Japanese contemporary artist Hachiro Kanno. The painting is made with acrylic on canvas, dimensions are 60 × 80 cm (23.6 × 31.5 in).
This piece is a diptych composed by two panels measuring 60 x 40 cm (23.6 × 15.7 in) each. The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This abstract composition takes its inspiration from Japanese calligraphy, merging traditional forms with a contemporary sensibility. Executed in acrylic, the piece employs a muted palette of greys, punctuated by striking accents of red. The brushstrokes—at once powerful and fluid—remain clearly visible, preserving the spontaneity and energy of the artist's hand. The soft, diluted greys of the background provide a calm, understated setting that allows the vibrant red to command attention. Through a delicate balance of opacity and transparency, the work radiates a vital force, creating a dynamic tension within the composition.
Hachiro Kanno, born into a family of traditional calligraphers, fuses his Eastern heritage with Western artistic influences. For him, calligraphy is not just a point of departure, but the very foundation of his artistic language—transformed into abstract script, "a writing that has become painting." His lines oscillate between sensual fluidity and taut precision, revealing both the rapidity and deliberateness of his gestures. With a limited color range, Kanno explores contrast in many forms: between painted and empty spaces, light and shadow, movement and stillness.

Hachiro Kanno
Coming from a family of traditional calligraphers, Hachiro Kanno explores the possibilities of calligraphy and transforms it into abstract writing, “a writing that has become a painting”. The artist has perfectly mastered the medium of ink: at times supple and voluptuous, at others taut and determined, the strokes of his brush reveal the speed or slowness of his gestures. The experience, perception, and awareness of nature and life, of becoming and passing, of movement and perpetuity — these are the concerns of the artist. “Today, when I paint I express myself differently to the way I did yesterday and to the way I will tomorrow. And yet, in me, there is an essentiality which lingers: yesterday, today, tomorrow right up to my death and even then beyond... That is what I want to convey by the notion of “permanescence”.”
