KOSAKU KANECHIKA is pleased to present Hiroto Tomonaga’s solo exhibition “Lightning” from March 22nd to May 2nd, 2025 at Kyobashi.

Hiroto Tomonaga captures transitory moments in which things he is looking at appear to him ever so briefly as something else, and strives to render this in painting. In his practice, this change that occurs before his eyes gradually translates into paint on the canvas, becoming fixed on the surface. While the resulting paintings are fixed, they feel as if they might resume moving once again, and express the sense of helplessness the artist himself feels regarding the world he sees before him.

The indeterminate nature of Tomonagaʼs art defies language and earthly logic, unsettling the world in which we live comfortable, albeit constrained, lives. In recent works, he has been building a sense of fullness that seems to jump off the painting surface, achieved by fixing onto a single canvas the numerous reactions that result from making different elements collide. This show, “Lightning,” will present about ten new paintings.
