Japanese collage painter Hiromitsu Kuroo has developed a practice that references the tradition of origami while simultaneously engaging with modern traditions of abstractionism. Although described as paintings, in his recent bleach paintings Kuroo avoids the use of paint in favor of folding, manipulating, and breaking down canvas with bleach to create tonal compositional forms. Existing between standard categorizations, Kuroo’s work speaks to comprehensive investigations of art’s elemental parts, which coalesce into unified wholes.
