Born in Miyagi, Japan, 1977. Lives and works in Kanagawa. 2000 B.F.A., Painting, Tama Art University. Out of the massive number of stored images that continue to increase, Sato selects rather minute images similar to the phenomena he encounters when he goes to work, at his work, strolling on holiday, and during his traveling. Based on these images, he paints on ordinary canvases, boards, and extremely small, trivial medium like sponge puffs in so monotonous way that the identity of the artist is barely visible. Some dozens of his paintings are drawn just in a few hours, and some hundreds of them in a few days; besides, there is one painting which took 10 years for completion. We cannot tell the amount of time and energy devoted to each painting even with a closer look. The assemblage of Sato's seemingly unremarkable, minute paintings is actually rich in experiences, scenes, and fleetingness that cannot be intentionally realized any more after being freed from the desire to impress or be remembered by other people.
