Maiko Kasai
In her first solo exhibition in four years, Maiko Kasai presents new paintings that follow the tangent of her previous creative process while also examining the dynamics of a holistic point of view. Kasai has been exploring narrative in painting by composing stories based on scenes she witnessed in daily life, or by reimagining un-told parts of pre-existing tales or of recurring stories. Her works, marked by bold brushstrokes and intentional negative space, set the scene for the entrance of young girls, animals, figures in cartoon character costumes, and other precocious and playfully disruptive creatures who appear as others. On the one hand, Kasai re-examines traditional themes in Western painting, and on the other she integrates a removed perspective that observes several points in time at once, a characteristic of traditional Japanese picture scrolls. She also ruminates on the main motifs in traditional themes of natural beauty in Japanese aesthetics. In doing so, she seeks not timelessness, but pursues a fascination towards the existence of narratives in painting that unfold in conjunction with temporality.
