Hideki Nakajima

When we think of contemporary Japanese graphic art and its global impact, Hideki Nakajima, who has gained popularity among young people with his radical actions, is likely the first name to cross our minds. His creations have been praised both in Japan and abroad. Nakajima’s philosophy and practice challenge the categorization of such ideas to the realm of a "designer's artwork”.
This exhibition "Infinite Libraries & ReCitF" consists of 7 new graphic works (framed posters in editions of 10 ) that were created based on texts by an American poet, Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca. In addition, Re-CitF, 2 other silk-screen works on canvases (edition of 1) will be exhibited. You will find that different types of collected images inspired by Vaca's poetry such as “maps”, ”time” and ”music” have been literally transcribed onto graphic works, colors, sophisticated prints and selected materials. Free and unrestrained within a rapidly homogenizing consumer society, Hideki Nakajima poetically declares independence through his work.
G/P gallery aims to consistently feature works by Hideki Nakajima a few times a year.
