Triton Museum of Art

October 13-December 30, 2007

Add Review/Comment

The art of Ken Matsumoto is infused with time. While on one level this can be interpreted in a prosaic sense, indicating that the consummate craftsmanship with which the artist executes his work requires patience, tenacity, skill, and an attention to detail that can only be fulfilled with much time devoted to the creation of the work, this is not the sense in which we refer to Matsumoto's art. Time is an integral component in the ideas supporting the artist's vision. The presence of time, metaphorically, in the work of Ken Matsumoto adds to the poetry of his art. Visually the artist renders a conception of the passage of time through the iconographic metaphors of archaeology. Matsumoto's stone, steel, glass, and sometimes brick sculptures capture the essence of artifacts discovered reflecting ages long past. Stone bowl forms appear mostly intact, fractures and unfinished surfaces are exposed to reveal what appears to be remnants of turmoil or the elements survived...at least in part.

    This is a great, fun, enchanting exhibit. It's like walking in a forest of giant mushrooms.

    I was impressed by the sheer quantity of work apparently completed in the last year. Many of the canvases looked as if they had been worked and reworked such that I wonder if they are not culminations of a process that had been ongoing over multiple years. Not that it matters, the work is confidently wrought. As a body of work the paintings were extremely varied with not much coherence as a whole. The painting closest to the back entrance or side exit (painting situated to the right of exit) was most compelling because of the simplicity of the composition and pallet. It is always a treat to see the work of an art teacher and active artist Collapse
