Massaki Sato
He was born in Japan.
This image identify about his live style. He had hard time about live life so he move to America in New York City. For Example "In his mid-Seventies paintings, Sato often withdrew underground, to the innards of the city, where mysteriously perforated subway galleries and train-cars devoid of all human presence, spoke both of this artist’s and most New Yorkers sense of alienation". It mean that many immigrant people have hard time.
In the image Sato like to work with art. He like to identify himself in a bookstore. For example "In that early series, Sato developed a highly personal signature motif of identical and equidistant cone-shaped holes piercing three-dimensional forms, thereby seemingly eating away at the very fabric of reality. The organic randomness and surface-stressing qualities of Pointillism’s scattered dots was thus subverted by means of the geometric regularity and vertiginous illusionism of Sixties Op-Art." It mean that he like to work with different identify.
In the image he is look inside the store. For example "The idea of cones piercing matter was also put to remarkable use in paintings of a woman’s face blown up to colossal size, a yellow cab fronted by a slab of sidewalk, and the Tenth Avenue bus dramatically cropped on the left, in order to allow it to press upon all four sides of the square canvas. The singular motif of the penetrating cone – facetted on the inside and consequently displaying a spectrum of colors – was applied in a cool, mechanical, all-over mode to the most banal urban imagery." It mean that like work different color and pattern.
It mean that self portait in store and in the wall. For example "Since the newsstand dispenses newspapers and magazines recording the very latest stories, stars and trends, it may be interpreted as a symbol of modernity, an issue of obvious importance to a contemporary artist." It was a treated in new york about artist.
