Mitsumasa Kadota (born in 1980 in Shizuoka Prefecture) has focused on exploring new horizons in painting expression by addressing traditional issues in painting, such as the limits of the medium, the relationship between ground and figure, or the relative interplay between color and brushstroke. The expansive and fresh colors, resembling rippling waves, express his inner conflicts and emotional fluctuations. Kadota received praise from Cody Franchetti, a renowned collector and Cy Twombly's nephew, who remarked, Kadota's pieces are polychromatic but come together as a single, chromatic concept. With the support of MOMA, he held a large-scale solo exhibition at the New York Lincoln Center at the end of 2019. He has gained attention for his future endeavors, including establishing the M Gallery in Tochigi as the mother Gallery and collecting his works from the Sezon Museum of Modern Art in Nagano.

His works, created by placing the canvas on a platform and digging into the layers of paint with tools like spatulas, blur the distinction between ground and figure while allowing each color to resonate with one another.This work, painted in 2021, is one in a series titled "Polyhedron," in which each piece can be removed and the piece can stand alone or as a combined work. This is an important work that leads into his later works "Blank Space" (2022) and "Space-Time" (2023). In Kadota's works, some colors form the whole, and the whole organically intertwines as parts. The relationship between "partial and whole," as contemplated by Kadota, challenges the viewer's preconceptions amidst the struggle of contradiction and transcendence.
