Please join us today, Saturday, September 10, from 5–7pm at Blum & Poe, Los Angeles for the opening of a solo exhibition of work by Yukie Ishikawa. Ishikawa’s practice is distinct for its deconstruction of Modernist abstraction and the monochromatic, frontal, and vertical-horizontal grids found in Minimalist art by drawing on compositions and techniques found in historical Japanese painting. The artist uses irregular groupings of curved and diagonal lines—reminiscent of the skewed perspectives seen in ancient Japanese scroll paintings—as well as dense optical color mixing to disrupt the viewer’s gaze and prevent it settling on a single point, grid, or layer. Head to the link in bio for more information on the exhibition. Video: Installation views of Yukie Ishikawa’s solo exhibition at Blum & Poe, Los Angeles, 2022; By: Dan Finlayson #yukieishikawa
