Eiji Ohashi
Akio Nagasawa Gallery Aoyama is pleased to present 'Roadside Lights,' a solo exhibition by Eiji Ohashi.
Ohashi was born in Wakkanai City, Hokkaido in 1955. Born and raised in northern Japan, he was fascinated by the beauty of desolation under severe environments such as winter and visited countries around the Himalayas from his late 20s.
This exhibition will feature new works from his project Roadside Lights, which began in 2008. This project spotlighted "scenery with vending machines" - a common landscape in Japan - and has been photographed throughout the country, especially in winter. "The vending machine here is the equivalent of a modern person, visualizing loneliness and hope,” says the artist.
