Last month, artist Shinya Imanishi was invited by art space Art Delight to present his first solo exhibition in Seoul, Korea. The exhibition presented a new series of work that shows the artist’s new development and matured technique, receiving wide appraisals from the Seoul art community. Imanishi creates his paintings by skillfully overlaying layers of oil paints, and repeatedly scraping them off while leaving the traces of the brush strokes. While the details of the materials come to the fore when looking at them at close range, images of degeneration and demise gradually emerge into view once the viewer takes some distance.

At the same time, within the clear lines and the heavy pale lumps, these images also tend to evoke themes of regeneration and new beginnings, expressing the fact that life and death are always inextricably linked together. They present the ambiguity and uncertainty of the facts and events about which we share a common understanding when exploring the relationship between material and image, viewpoint and distance.

Shinya Imanishi will present his new works in the end of this year in our Taipei branch. Please follow us for updated information about the upcoming show.
