Jacob Hashimoto: In the Cosmic Fugue
In the Cosmic Fugue is Rhona Hoffman Gallery鈥檚 fourth solo exhibition of Jacob Hashimoto鈥檚 enormously imaginative and laboriously created work. The show will occupy the entire gallery with six new oil paintings and fourteen kite pieces, created from innumerable hand-painted and collaged rice paper and bamboo 鈥渒ites,鈥� Hashimoto鈥檚 signature medium. These visually striking, multi-dimensional works engross viewers through their organizational, geometric complexity, changing sight lines, and sheer beauty.
With In the Cosmic Fugue, the expansive and effervescent nature of Hashimoto鈥檚 work becomes more tightly organized and contained with bold visual graphics. His aesthetic inspiration stems from the space race era and 1960s California 鈥淗ard-edge鈥� Abstraction. Unlike flat, High Modernist paintings; however, Hashimoto鈥檚 crisp lines fracture and transform as viewers move around his three-dimensional works.
A concern with space has always figured prominently in Hashimoto鈥檚 thinking, and In the Cosmic Fugue employs graphically minimal means to capture the cosmos鈥� vastness and infinite possibilities.
