About the Item
TN 852 is a painting by Japanese contemporary artist Hachiro Kanno. Dimensions are 70 × 100 cm (27.5 × 39.3 in). This artwork is signed and sold unframed.
This piece belongs to an abstract vocabulary while drawing clear inspiration from Japanese calligraphy. The brushstrokes—vigorous yet graceful—remain visible, revealing the artist’s movement. Black and white intersect across the canvas, building layers and subtle transparencies. Made with acrylic and mother-of-pearl, the work radiates a dynamic energy while simultaneously inviting contemplation.
The background features a pattern rendered in pearl powder that evokes Japanese characters; its discreet presence creates shifting reflections that appear or vanish depending on the viewer’s angle.
Born into a family of traditional calligraphers, Hachiro Kanno blends his Eastern heritage with Western influences. Calligraphy, the foundation of his practice, becomes a field of exploration as he transforms it into abstract writing—“a script that becomes painting.” Sometimes fluid and sensual, other times taut and restrained, his lines express the swiftness or slowness of the gesture. With a pared-down palette, Hachiro Kanno plays with contrast and dualities: filled and empty space, shadow and light.

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”.”
