Johannes Bosisio
104GALERIE (Nakameguro, Tokyo) will be holding the solo exhibition “Afterlight” by Johannes Bosisio from Saturday, December 13 2025 to Saturday, January 24 2026.
This will be Bosisio’s first solo exhibition at 104GALERIE, and it will feature a selection of paintings, including a new piece measuring over 4.5 meters, as well as approximately ten drawings. Works created by the artist during his stay in Tokyo to coincide with the exhibition will also be on display. Johannes Bosisio was born in Cavalese, Italy in 1994. After attending the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin in 2020, he moved to London and graduated from the Royal College of Artin 2022. Like his father, Robert Bosisio, he is an active painter.
Bosisio’s work is shaped and developed by the repetition of urban life in Berlin and London, and by life surrounded by the mountains of Trodena, Italy.
Bosisio has always pursued the expression of two contrary ideas of inorganic and organic matter, and he focuses a tranquil macro-perspective towards the worlds of each. He sees destruction and interference, but also a merging, and explores the unique dynamism within them. For the large painting, which is the fulcrum of the exhibition, the artist himself engaged in interference with and destruction of a metal object, and painted from photographs of the resulting form. The transformed metal matter, which underwent destruction at the hands of the artist – a physical body – encounters light, and while its identity has been destabilized, it remains, functioning like a trace of light. Through the aggressive process of destruction, its world impacts in a more vague and expansive territory, as though merging, spreading on the canvas like a universe. It captures what the material hides and reveals under pressure, the eternal interference and resonance between them, and a moment that is in constant transformation.
