A Japanese artist, Izumi Kato, has experienced unprecedented success this year by auctioning his finger paintings to art lovers worldwide.
According to ArtNet News, Kato’s finger paintings have generated over $3 million in sales this year alone, a significant leap from the $344,372 achieved in 2018.
Kato’s artistic niche lies in crafting hauntingly captivating “embryonic” figures using his fingers as brushes on canvas. His portfolio encompasses paintings, drawings, and sculptures.
The value of Kato’s large paintings ranges between $250,000 and $300,000, while his smaller sculptures typically fetch prices of $25,000 to $35,000 per piece, as documented by ArtNet.
Innovatively, Kato ventures beyond conventional materials and often employs found objects like rocks as his canvas. When asked about this approach, he shares with ArtNet, “The feeling I have when I paint on stone is that I am painting on something that other people have already created, so it’s more of a collaboration.”
