Seiko Kanno

Seiko Kanno (born 1933, née Aizawa) is a Japanese artist and participant of the 'third generation' of the Gutai Art Association from the mid 1960s onward. Her paintings are often characterized by an inorganic composition, seemingly devoid of emotional expression. Kanno is also a member of an experimental, avant-garde group of poets, in which she composed highly visual poems using symbols and katakana syllables. Her work frequently features her admiration of music, physics, and mathematics, to which she became devoted towards in her later years.
