Since the 1980s, he has also produced unique oil paintings that fix fluid traces like decalcomanies by manipulating acrylic sheets. In 1993, he had a retrospective exhibition at the Sezon Museum of Art and other venues, and in 2000 at the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art. In 2019, the exhibition “Takiguchi Shuzo / Kano Mitsuo 《Semiotic of the Storm Petrel》 2019” was held at the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art. |
