JOËL ANDRIANOMEARISOA

Standing Pine is pleased to present “Le palais des vents” (Palace of the wind), a solo exhibition by Joël Andrianomearisoa, who is based between Madagascar and France. Working across disciplines, Andrianomearisoa gives form to abstract emotions and memories that elude language. Building on a series first presented earlier this year at the Museum of Fine Arts, Gifu, this exhibition will feature textile works incorporating kimono fabrics the artist collected in Kyoto, tore into fragments, and then wove into new compositions. Through this process, Andrianomearisoa brings forth new narratives, reworking the materials into textured paintings conceived not as “boundaries” but as “connections.”

STANDING PINE

Standing Pine was established in Nagoya in 2009 and opened a second space in Tokyo in 2023. The gallery program is grounded in both contemporary relevance and art historical context. It features Japanese and international artists who work in a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, video, photography, kinetic art, and textiles. In recent years the gallery has broadened its curatorial scope by engaging with contemporary art from the Global South and developing projects with artists whose practices remain underrepresented in Japan. Standing Pine regularly participates in international art fairs and collaborative initiatives, further demonstrating its commitment to showing diverse art practices in a global context and creating new platforms for dialogue.
