2025

Introducing Hiroshi Sato's "Christmas Decoration," an original oil on canvas from his compelling solo exhibition 'Midwest', which runs from April 26 to May 14, 2024. This piece, measuring 26 x 30 inches, is an exploration of the Midwest, painted against a backdrop of the Christmas season. The artwork is vibrant, utilizing abstract strokes to convey urban and rural dichotomies and the pressures of modern existence, reflecting on our ceaseless digital engagement. "Christmas Decoration" is unframed but ready to hang, offering a poignant glimpse into the modern American landscape through Sato's distinctive lens. Artist Bio & Statement: Hiroshi Sato was born September 1987 in Japan. From the age of three to fourteen he spent his childhood in Tanzania. While there, he recognized where he lived was not home, and where he called home was some place he hardly ever knew. From a very young age, he understood he was not a participant of his surroundings. Therefore, his role was of an observer. This recognition and his exposure to alternate cultures, class, wealth, language is his backdrop to his interest in perception and how it is explored in the singular image. He enrolled in the fine-arts program at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, graduating with a Bachelors and Masters in Fine Art. Hiroshi Sato is focused on contemporary realist oil painting. He is best known for paintings of figures in an interior environment. He draws influence from past and present artists including Vermeer, Degas, Andrew Wyeth, Euan Uglow, Hopper and Chuck Close. Sato’s work shows his interest in geometric design principles of the old masters and is currently exploring the simultaneous illusion of form and flatness in space. His goal is to portray, and better understand our various states of consciousness within ourselves through the visual medium. Hiroshi Sato’s work has been featured in various publications such as Fine Art Connoisseur, Juxtapoz Magazine...
