Kato Yoshio, independant curator, in his comment Pictures of visual and tactile sense: „Yota Hanazawa's pictures not only suggest space, but also create space and, in so doing, influence the surrounding space and define its environment. I remember my first encounter with the work of Yota Hanazawa. It was when I saw his one man show in Osaka in 1993, where he displayed expressive abstract pictures. His work at that time had already abandoned the plane surface of the canvas and displayed as a characteristic an extraordinary unevenness that emphasized the physical appearance and appealed to the tactile sense. For more than ten years now, in his work he has continuously developed this style of expression. In a certain sense, he has left behind the limitations of painting and redefined himself as a painter.“
