Shinro Ohtake
Take Ninagawa is pleased to present Shinro Ohtake’s solo exhibition “Retina,” held concurrently with his solo show at the Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art in Kagawa.
Driven by a deep engagement with the economies of images, information, and products that inform contemporary life, Ohtake’s protean artistic practice spans from collages and paintings to kinetic sculptures, multimedia environments, and light and sound installations. This exhibition focuses on his ongoing Retina (1988–) works made in collaboration with chance processes, including photographic chemical reactions and the effects of time. Encased in a resin coating that transforms the reflectiveness and materiality of the underlying photo-based compositions, these large-scale abstractions are enigmatic studies of the mechanisms of perception. They will be complemented by historic collages and Polaroid prints related to the series.
