Kazuki Umezawa
CASHI is pleased to present Image Phantasm, a solo exhibition by Kazuki Umezawa (b. 1985 in Saitama, Japan), on view from March 1 (Sat) through April 5 (Sat). After graduating from the Department of Imaging Arts and Sciences at Musashino Art University in 2008, Umezawa has been actively exhibiting works in which he reassembles images found scattered across the Internet.
By deliberately rendering the overwhelming “chaos” of massive amounts of information onto a flat plane, Umezawa presents the ostensibly nonexistent “images” found on a display as though they are real. This act can be viewed as a form of idolatry—an expression of faith in “images” within our digital society.
In Image Phantasm, Umezawa showcases new works that center on the concept of “Gazou” (image), a subject he has been fascinated by for many years. Through the process of transforming these digital, intangible “Gazou” into paintings in a physical exhibition space, the artist’s dedication to preserving this “illusion” becomes all the more apparent.
This marks Umezawa’s first solo exhibition at CASHI since Black Omen in 2020—his first in five years. We warmly invite you to take this opportunity to experience his latest exploration of “Gazou.”
We look forward to welcoming you at the gallery.
