Japanese artist, Kazuo Shiraga is one of the figures of the Gutai movement, stimulated by the atmosphere of strong experimental will that reigns there. Shiraga develops a philosophy based entirely on "the art of the act" and on the perpetual search for a pure abstraction in which the pictorial material, which has become the living reflection of the artist's personality, comes to life little by little. Kazuo Shiraga paints with his feet, standing, hanging from a rope, a simple instrument in the service of an almost metaphysical higher will. The act of painting then becomes a fight, an absolute face-to-face with the canvas. Under the influence of a strange choreography, the artist, both ballet master, and fencing master, physically enters the painting and fuses body and soul, spirit and matter. His work combines choreography and the random movements of her body in the conception of the work, in a unique process that gives her work its visual dynamism.
