DONNA ART 多納藝術《Evergreen》 Pen, 91 x 162 cmKeita’s Manifesto to My GirlSagaki Keita Solo Exhibition 2/14-3/30Text / CHEN Kuang-Yi ,English / Eddie Images / Donna Art & ConsultingPhD of Contemporary Art (19th -20th Century), Université Paris NanterreProfessor & former Dean of Fine Arts at National Taiwan University of ArtEveryone would be surprised by the works of Keita SAGAKI.

Formatively, this style of composition with countless parts of elementsare, in fact, derived from Seurat’s Pointillism, Cézanne’s construction, Miro and Pollock’s fullspreadingcomposition, Roy Lichtenstein’s Benday dot style, or even Chuck Close’s giant portraitswith different details at close and distant look.
