Seiichi Kasai Exhibition: The Formative World Woven by Color and Form

About this event

This exhibition chronologically introduces the painting world of Western-style painter Seiichi Kasai (1932-2025), who contributed to the artistic development of the Chukyo region as an erudite and sincere painter. Born in Hokkaido and educated at Tokyo University of the Arts, he studied under Maurice Brianchon while studying abroad in Paris. After returning to Japan, he taught at Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music, nurturing many successors while continuing to build compositions based on color and form. Visitors can trace the path of Seiichi Kasai, who aimed for refined "interior paintings through composition" and pursued the universality of painting until his passing at age 93. Through works where tabletop vessels, musical instruments, chairs, and more form a single screen through the assembly of color and shape, guests can savor his unique figurative world.
