Ippodo Gallery is pleased to announce that Chaos by Ken Matsubara has been acquired by the Minneapolis Institute of Art for their permanent collection.
Matsubara created Chaos during his 30s while mourning the loss of Inoue Sankō, his teacher and a mentor while growing up in a Buddhist temple. Through the repetitive circles inspired by the resonant sound of Japanese temple singing bowls, he broke free from his teacher’s influence to explore his own artistic voice. Like the figures depicted on the screens, Matsubara’s journey through grief led him toward a newfound confidence in his approach to painting.
