Takesada Matsutani (born in 1937, Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese painter, printmaker, and installation artist renowned for his innovative use of materials and his association with the Gutai Art Association.
In the early 1960s, Matsutani became a key member of the second generation of the Gutai group, an influential post-war Japanese art collective. He developed a unique visual language by experimenting with vinyl glue, manipulating it with fans and his own breath to create bulbous, sensuous forms reminiscent of human curves and features.
Matsutani's works are held in major public and private collections worldwide, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the National Museum of Art in Tokyo, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. He continues to live and work between Paris and Nishinomiya, Japan.
