Yuichi Higashionna: let鈥檚 get dizzy
Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present let鈥檚 get dizzy, an exhibition of new work by Tokyo-based artist Yuichi Higashionna. This is Higashionna鈥檚 second solo show at the gallery, and will be comprised of fluorescent light sculptures, paintings, and installations. The exhibition is on view from February 28 鈥� April 18, 2015, at 118 E. 64th Street, New York.
Higashionna finds influence for his art in the interior design of post-modern Japan. At times girlish, uncanny, and tacky, his work explores a particular aesthetic known as 鈥渇anshii鈥� which became popular in Japan in the 1970鈥檚 during a time of prosperity and deep admiration for Western culture. Much of Higashionna鈥檚 work to date has satirized fanshii and the tenuous line between luxury and taste. With this new exhibition, Higashionna starts from a position of doubt in fanshii, questioning through materials and an immersive environment whether the nature of our surroundings is actually a form of suppression.
