Next Exhibition:Yuki Yamamoto -Duality-

July 03, 2024

N project is pleased to present “Duality,” a solo exhibition by Yuki Yamamoto, from July 13 (Sat) to August 2 (Fri), 2024.

Yuki Yamamoto, born in Hokkaido in 1981, graduated from the Fine Arts Education (Oil Painting) course of the Graduate School of Education of Hokkaido University of Education in 2007. Upon receiving a grant from the Sapporo City Foundation for Arts and Cultural Promotion, he resided in from 2012 to 2013. While participating in the joint operation of since 2017, he currently lives and works in Sapporo, Hokkaido.

Yamamoto’s works are created through a simple but meticulous process of alternately accumulating layers of transparent medium and layers of drawings composed of circles, all within a few millimeters on top of a base layer made of cotton cloth coated with gesso. As a result of the accumulation of multiple layers, as if peering into the surface of calm water, the surface of his works gives hints of the underlying colors, while the color saturation of the colored layers closer to the surface are heightened due to the effects of the overlapping layers. By freely managing transparent layers as buffers, not only the actual color saturation of the drawings, but also new color saturations that are created due to the accumulation of layers offer a rare visual experience that strongly appeals to its audience.

This exhibition titled, “Duality,” examines the duality of various subjects that Yamamoto has discovered through the trials and errors while producing his works. 16 new pieces, from small to large, that reflect Yamamoto’s current aesthetic world view will be exhibited.
