Hide Kawabata is a great artist. Hide's art is complex and masterful, and can evoke strong emotions from his audience. His use of smooth continuous lines evoke power and strength, as well as comfort and vulnerability; an openness and invitation to see a new view, see a new vision or horizon. Hide's work has the element of trueness, of being one.

In the piece Nichirin, you can feel the heat and intensity of this piece in your eyes. The feeling at first seems chaotic, but then organized; very organic. The Buddha, a favorite piece of ours, shows serenity surrounded by complexity, existing together in harmony. In Spain -  Lead Glass Flower Vase and Seven Flowers of Sun, you can feel the power of light through the colors creating the beauty of a leaded glass window, revealing the secrets of color to the individual. In the Seven Sun Flower there is a power and mastery of lions in nature. The Round Universe and Red Sun and Elliptical Universe and Red Sun show the complexity of life; trials and difficulties, but also simpleness,happiness, and joy.

We find Hide Kawabata's art to be intense, involved, intriguing. We enjoy his art as we enjoy a labyrinth; meditation for the eyes. Thank you Hide for creating such beautiful art for the world to enjoy. We feast our eyes upon your endeavors, and look forward to each and every new piece of art that you create.
