EXHIBITIONS
SHUNSUKE IMAI
Shunsuke Imai’s paintings are distinguished by their use of vivid color and geometric forms. Balancing artificial structure and human touch, his compositions of bold stripes and irregular shapes combine digitally composed sketches with freehand acrylic painting and also find form in sculptures and installations. Imai’s work fluidly crosses boundaries between abstraction and representation, art and design, figure and ground, stasis and movement, reality and illusion, offering viewers a fresh perspective on contemporary visual experience. In this exhibition, Imai will present a new sculptural work made of striped fabric alongside a painting that captures the fabric’s undulating motion. The rippling stripes alternately evoke flags, camouflage, or national symbols, triggering different personal associations and memories in the viewer.
