Maple 1980

Kenzo Okada’s 1980 painting, *Maple*, is a vibrant and serene work. The piece features a scattered array of stylized maple leaves rendered in muted hues of pink, brown, and yellow against a calming green background. The leaves appear to float effortlessly, creating a sense of tranquility and a subtle suggestion of movement. The muted palette and minimalist composition underscore Okada’s interest in capturing the essence of nature. Okada, a Japanese-American artist, is known for his abstract depictions of nature, often finding inspiration in the landscapes of his native Japan.
