About the Item

Berthoud Pass, located in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, has a rich history associated with winter sports, skiing, exploration, and snowmobiling since the 1930s. An avid outdoors person, the artist John Kato associates this area with fond memories of his youth and has honored this beautiful landscape in this expansive print depicting the epic snowy mountain range, pine trees, and lone skier making their way through the trails. John Kato is a distinguished artist with a passion for printmaking that has taken him on a journey blending traditional techniques with a modern artistic vision. His dedication to this craft has led to the creation of captivating and intricate imagery that pays homage to the masters while incorporating contemporary elements. Kato's artistic journey began with a deep immersion in the world of printmaking. He honed his craft under the mentorship of internationally renowned printmakers Romano and Ross in Venice, Italy. Their guidance laid the foundation for John's artistic vision and commitment to the art of printmaking. John's expertise lies in the intricate world of printmaking. His focus on woodblock prints, in particular, is a nod to the timeless artistry of this medium, while his exploration of other printmaking processes adds a layer of complexity and depth to his work. By combining these techniques, John has developed a unique style that seamlessly melds traditional aesthetics with contemporary art forms. John's artistic style draws inspiration from the iconic Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, renowned for his woodblock print series, "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji." John's work echoes the delicate beauty, precision, and detail found in Hokusai's prints. However, he takes these influences and infuses them with a modern twist, resulting in artwork that is both reminiscent of the past and firmly anchored in the present. John's artwork showcases a rich tapestry of themes and imagery. His creations often feature elements from nature, evoking a sense of harmony and wonder. Yet, he masterfully weaves in contemporary elements, creating a bridge between the past and the future. His pieces are a celebration of intricate details, and intricate patterns, and an exploration of the interplay between tradition and innovation. Philosophy John Kato's artistic philosophy revolves around the idea that the art of printmaking is a bridge between history and modernity. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of traditional craftsmanship and its capacity to evolve and adapt to contemporary sensibilities. Through his work, John seeks to invite viewers to appreciate the timeless beauty of printmaking while encouraging them to see it through a new and innovative lens. John Kato's art is a reflection of his dedication, his journey through printmaking, and his unique ability to marry the past and the present. His work continues to captivate art enthusiasts, inviting them to explore the intricacies of the printmaking craft while reveling in the beauty of his contemporary creations.

Renee s Breakfast
Located in Brooklyn, NY
"Renee's Breakfast" depicts a simple image of three eggs on a plate with bacon, a breakfast so familiar to many, and serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the transience of even the most ordinary moments. Just as the morning sun rises and sets, casting shifting shadows and changing the hues of the yolks, so does life move forward, never standing still. The sizzling bacon mirrors life's moments, fleeting and ephemeral, yet leaving behind a savory residue of memories. In this seemingly mundane tableau, we find an allegory for the ceaseless march of time, urging us to savor each bite, each moment, for they are as precious as the breakfast on our plate. John Kato...
