Takero Kano currently lives and works in Tokyo. Kano studied architecture before beginning to paint on his own. Although the artist’s paintings initially appear abstract, they are based on observations of concrete objects, such as plants, spaces, and even hand wrinkles. He adds a unique spin on these subjects through his use of color, bold composition, and brushwork to conjure emotions, memories, and the passage of time itself. “Crepuscular” is Kano’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.
