NYAB Event - Yojiro Imasaka and Jun Ahn "perspectives"

This event has ended.
At Onishi Gallery
Media: Photography

Onishi Gallery presents, perspectives, an exhibition of photographs by two Asian artists, Yojiro Imasaka and Jun Ahn.

The young international artists were inspired by their past experiences in their home countries, Japan and South Korea. Even though Asian culture has embraced the value of individual assertion recently, social authorization still exists physically and psychologically. The way of thinking is different among generations, yet young people still keep their dark and depressed feelings hidden inside. They seek to disclose their inherent conflicts by expressing themselves in a non-verbal way. The contrast between Imasaka and Ahn’s perspective is remarkable, yet their pictures are somehow related. Imasaka takes black and white pictures of buildings, looking up. By contrast, Ahn takes colored pictures of buildings, looking down.
