A collector’s consummate artist

From being a full-time journalist to PR man and event organizer, Kenneth John Montegrande never imagined that painting would be the one to create a name for him, attaining self-actualization at that.

His forte, abstract impressionism and expressionism using acrylic paint on canvas, has brought his works to Japan, as part of the collection of billionaire entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa. Also the founder and president of the Tokyo-based Contemporary Art Foundation, Maezawa bought Montegrande’s large artworks – “Abstrak” measuring 4x6 feet, “Enigmatic Series II” measuring 4x3 feet, “Imperfection” measuring 5x4 feet and “The Other Side of Me” which measures 6x4 feet.
