MADSAKI at Perrotin Gallery
Being Japanese-American, he straddles two identities in this country. He straddles being a member of the Western art world, while also playfully criticizing it. This fact can be metaphorically represented by his physical distance from the canvases upon which he paints. Due to his sole use of spray paint cans, he is required to step away from the surface while he works.
The universe MADSAKI creates is one void of hierarchies; there is no “high” or “low” art, just art. The subject matter is most consistent to him because it’s all based on his own personal experiences. In other words, you may not see a direct correlation between his painting of two Knicks players and their coach and his painting of a family photo in Japan; but the correlation represents the artists memories of growing up between those two worlds.
Can you talk a bit about moving to New Jersey as a child from Japan? How did art become your outlet?
I was 6 when I moved to New Jersey. It was my first time on a plane. A few weeks after I got there, my parents bought me a bicycle. So, I tried pedalling home to where I used to live in Japan.

Our recap of what’s happening this week at Saatchi Art, online, and around the world.
#1: New Installation Illustrates Pollution
Bottles float in Cascais Bay, illuminated at night
The growing issue of pollution is often better understood through visceral imagery of its effects. A Madrid-based guerilla art group called Luzinteruptus considered this with their latest project, drawing inspiration from the notorious Eighth Continent made of bottles and other corrosive garbage. The group created a raft from 5,000 plastic bottles, to be released into Portugal’s Cascais Bay.
Aptly called “La Isla Plastica,” or The Plastic Island, the work is meant to be a visual representation of the onerous issue that largely goes un-dealt with. The man-made plastic bottles cut through the water, visible against the night sky.
