Katayama is a surrealist with an Asian approach. Classic surrealist like Dali and Magritte painted impossible things in real settings. Katayama’s settings are not real. They are spaces without dimensions - a world of colors and textures. His paintings are like dreams in which figures appear like apparitions. It is as though he invents a mythology. An example is a naked seated figure that holds a staff. And a disembodied head appears above him, but the man doesn’t notice it. In another picture the hair on a person’s head becomes a raging ocean.The artist is meticulous but not stiff in these acrylic paintings that are being exhibited in The US for the first time.
