KAIE
HOKKAIDO AERIAL FINE ART
Hokkaido, seen from above — another kind of abstract painting
The place is Eastern Hokkaido, the far eastern edge of Japan. On winter mornings the temperature falls to between −10°C and −20°C. In those coldest hours, a drone rises to about 50 meters.
From the ground, it is just a frozen river. But the moment you look straight down, it turns into an abstract painting. Ice, water, light — the line between landscape photography and abstract art quietly disappears.
KAIE is the work of a photographer who also runs canoe tours in Eastern Hokkaido — someone who lives on this land and knows which river, on which dawn, will reveal the ice.
Each work is available as a fine-art print, shipped worldwide. Prints can currently be purchased through the art platform Saatchi Art.
