As a painter, Kazuya Sakai has gone through many transformations influenced by the various places he’s called home. During time spent in 1970s Mexico City, Sakai’s paintings were colourful, vibrating abstractions inspired by contemporary and avant-garde musicians. In paintings like Filles de Kilimanjaro III, a homage to Miles Davis, you can almost make out the music notes, instruments, and tempos legends like Davis, Krin Gabbard, or John Cage would play, and an admiring Sakai would then paint.
