Abstract
"From White Net" by Sadamasa Motonaga (1981) exemplifies his mastery within the Art informel movement, blending spontaneous abstract expression with dynamic techniques. As a key figure of postwar Japanese avant-garde, Motonaga's work emphasizes gestural brushwork and textured surfaces, conveying raw emotion and immediacy. The title suggests an exploration of delicate, interwoven structures, akin to a net, set against a predominantly white palette that evokes purity and openness while hinting at complexity beneath. The piece reflects Motonaga's innovative approach to abstraction, emphasizing process and materiality over figurative representation.
