Aya Takano: How Deep How Far We Can Go
Perrotin Los Angeles is pleased to present an exhibition by internationally acclaimed Japanese artist, AYA TAKANO; the artist's eleventh solo exhibition with the gallery. Titled, how deep how far we can go, the exhibition brings together new paintings, drawings, and installations that explore memory, ancestral consciousness, and the timeless connection between all beings-human and non-human alike.
An Immersive Journey into Time and Memory: the Deep Ecology of the Soul
Renowned for her ethereal, otherworldly imagery, TAKANO has long been recognized as a central figure in the Superflat movement founded by Takashi Murakami. Yet her work transcends aesthetic affiliations: it vibrates with emotional urgency, spiritual depth, and radical tenderness. In, how deep how far we can go, she invites us on an inner pilgrimage reaching backward into prehistoric time and forward into mythic futures, tracing the pulse of life through DNA strands, fungi, extinct animals, and the luminous bodies of androgynous youth.
"What I try to depict in my work is an invitation to a more organic, interconnected, and harmonious world," TAKANO explains. "A place not centered around humans alone," but one that honors "the radiance of all life."
