以後、様々にいろとかたちを変えながら《portrait》が展開していくことになる。このような中で、個展「Utopia MoMo-Iro 7」をsalon cojicaで開催した。展示のために床と壁を貼り替え、《portrait》シリーズを中心とした展覧会を行うことにした。この際に書いたテキストは以下の通りである。
彼が、近年特に意欲的に取り組んできた平面作品は、「portrait」とのタイトルが付けられていました。
「portrait」それぞれに番号が単純に振られているものの、タイトル自体に個性は与えられてきませんでした。そんな「portrait」は、彼の研鑽の記録といっても良いでしょう。
彼は、160を超える「portrait」の創作と研鑽から、ユートピア(Utopia)を探し続けているのかもしれません。

この頃の《portrait》シリーズは常に実験的であり、その時々の興味によって、いつも違う画面作りがされていった。「Utopia MoMo-Iro 7」のメイン作品として出展された《portrait158》では、金箔、ドット、山、ピンクといったこれまでの武田作品に特徴的な要素はありながらも、全体的に画面が汚される処理がなされているなど、不穏な画面作りがされている。時期は前後するが、2012年の夏、初めて参加したART OSAKAの搬入の際に武田とビックリマンシールの話をした記憶が残っている。金箔、ラメ、蛍光色、光沢のある表面、背景作りの方法などには共通するところがあるのではないかと考えている。

《portrait》と並行して作られていたシリーズとして、《神殿》のシリーズがある。横長の立体のシリーズと、不安定に箱のようなものが積み重ねられた《神殿 -tree-》のシリーズが存在している。横長のシリーズは武田の実家の平屋の形がモチーフになっており、木材や、エポキシ樹脂、ミラーボールの鏡など、その時々の「素材」への興味がダイレクトに表れるシリーズとなっている。内部には灯りが灯されることが多く、家を思わせる作品となっている。箱が積み重ねられた《神殿 -tree-》のシリーズにおいては、コードの処理や、立体の組み合わせ方に工夫が凝らされ、その時々の「造形」への興味がダイレクトに表れるシリーズとなっている。《神殿》は、彼の平面作品を集積し立体に立ち上げたもののようにも思え、立体と平面とをつなぐ役割を担っているようにも思えていた。こ鹿(2010)では、《神殿#003》を展示し、Utopia MoMo-Iro 7(2012)では、《神殿-tree-#004》を展示した。
