Francis Shingo, Yasuko Iba, Saki Maeda
Misa Shin Gallery is pleased to announce "Group Show" by three artists, Francis Shingo, Yasuko Iba and Saki Maeda from Saturday January 28 through Saturday March 11, 2023.
Francis explores the vast space and spirituality of painting through abstract expressions that consist of multiple layers of blue and deep monochrome color works. His Interference series of the last few years consists of paintings created with special materials that cause optical interference, resulting in light passing through multiple layers of paint, producing a variety of colors when viewed at different angles. As the viewer approaches the painting, the visual effect of the viewer’s movement triggers an experience of the painting that can only be sensed there.
Yasuko Iba renders the textures of things that are not normally visible, like the light and space that exist between the surface of objects and the artist’s eyes, by painting from her own photographs of familiar objects. Iba’s early works featured close-ups of objects, but in recent years her distance from the objects has increased, broadening the scope of the subject to include architectural spaces and scenery. This exhibition comprises works from 2011, depicting vegetation and trees and a recent landscape painting.
Born in 1993, Saki Maeda creates abstract paintings using a paint knife to buildup layers of oil paint under the concept of "accumulation of time" and "boundaries." Having a triangle as her minimum form of presence on the canvas, she paints by piling up layers and scraping them off to visualize all matters in our everyday life and their relations geometrically. Maeda has been pursuing abstraction since she was an art student and continues to seek "boundaries" which we perceive.
This exhibition shows the various perspectives and approaches to paintings of these three artists.
