Shifting Boundaries’The Ōsaka-born artist Takesada Matsutani takes over our North Gallery for his first exhibition in London in over a decade, coinciding with his 60th year of living and working in Paris, France. The artist’s diverse practice is concerned with the reshaping of matter, from transforming acrylic, oil paint and graphite to more unconventional materials like vinyl glue and cotton. This exhibition, organized with Olivier Renaud-Clement, ranges from the sensational sculpture ‘The Magic Box’ (1988), to brand-new works that epitomize his experimentation with vinyl glue.A key member of the Japanese avant-garde collective the Gutai Art Association, Matsutani moved to Paris in 1966 after receiving a grant from the French government as a result of winning first prize in the 1st Mainichi Art Competition. One of the last surviving members of the Gutai group, he turned 89 in January 2026, yet he still maintains a daily studio practice, evident in the relentless energy that continues from his historic works to the new canvases on view.The exhibition is on view through Saturday 18 April.—Image: Takesada Matsutani at work in his studio, rue Faidherbe, Paris, France, 2025 © Takesada Matsutani 2026 ADAGP, Paris.
