Our next exhibits includes Tat Ito's 'Memento Mori', this will be Ito's solo debut in New York.
'Memento Mori' will consist of new acrylic, gold leaf and silver leaf on canvas or panel paintings. Ito aims to counter the aesthetic "semantics" of his paintings with a mysterious new context-a hybrid of East and West-that may arouse a new inquisitiveness in viewers. Outrageously costumed figures inhabit a stylized landscape that is simultaneously reminiscent of Japan's high-voltage electronic age and its gold-leafed medieval era.
Attached are sample images below. Please contact the gallery directly regarding any inquiries.
