We've been aware of Japanese postwar painter Hidetaka Ohno (b.1922) for a while now...his non-representational works have a very organic quality. Whether he applied cement or jute bags to a canvas or painted in Sumi Ink and Chinese White, the imagery seems naturally occuring. We just purchased one mixed media piece from a California auction house & can't wait to receive it!

Our recent acquisition. Mixed media on paper.

Looking good gentlemen. Some serious decor porn.

I've got a work of Hidetaka Ohno's, #13, a jute and mixed media just like your "1961". I don't suppose you'd share what you paid for your acquisition, would you?
