Minoru Nomata: Far Sights
White Cube Seoul presents ‘映遠 – Far Sights’, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Japanese artist Minoru Nomata. For his debut presentation in Korea, Nomata invokes the aesthetics of the sublime to explore the notion of boundless expanse – whether that be in the mind or our very universe. Conveyed through the first part of the title, ‘映遠’, to mean ‘reflecting distance’ in Japanese, Nomata envisions landscapes where vertiginous architectural forms emerge from low horizon lines that blur the frontier between Earth and the cosmos. Spanning the past two decades of the artist’s practice, the works in this exhibition negotiate realities both concrete and oneiric, embracing uncertainties of time, place and perspective.
