Tai Ogawa “Edge of Life”
Kai Matsumiya
This event has ended.
Kai Matsumiya presents Edge of Life by Tai Ogawa. The show will mark the artist’s US-debut exhibition. It will also be his first time in the United States.
Tai Ogawa (b. 1981) constantly reinvents his art practice for creating remarkable bodies of art work as a constant throughout his nearly decade long career, yet indubitably retains his consistent and identifiable signature style among all such works. Two bodies of art practrice investigate “atomization” and “borderlines” among other areas of art inquiry.
Profoundly bored by the limitations of flat, two dimensional surfaces, Tai’s newer works begin by the use of cut-out painted image-items, or what could be uncomfortably described as “collage” according to the artist. The inspiration for his change arrived from an edge-of-life motorcycle accident in Ibaraki, Japan -he fractured twenty ribs and remained unconscious for over a week.
