EXHIBI­TIONS

REINA MIKAME

This exhibition examines the relationship between real-world phenomena and painting while also reconsidering the significance of abstract painting. Reina Mikame uses the formal elements of line, shape, and color to reconstruct observable phenomena such as the refraction and reflection of light or structural misalignments and overlaps. These paintings create orders and relations in two-dimensional space by focusing on the structures of seeing and the formation of images rather than relying on emotional reactions or impressions. In this way, the painted image responds to real-world phenomena while simultaneously manifesting an autonomous visual system. Through abstract painting Mikame investigates the visual environment and information that fill our daily lives.
