KOSAKU KANECHIKA is pleased to present Yutaka Aoki’s solo exhibition “U” from January 18th to February 22nd, 2025 at Tennoz, and from January 25th to March 8th, 2025 at Kyobashi.

Yutaka Aoki expands the scope of painting through an examination of the relationship between painting and the surrounding world, and through the many new possibilities that are born from that exchange. This exploration results in works that migrate freely between two- and three-dimensionality, and in works that respond not only to the material and production process, but also to their relationship with the audience’s gaze. Aoki’s approach also seeks to capture the ever-changing countenance of paintings, articulated as single moments along the axis of time.

At the core of Aoki’s artistic work lies an awareness of the structure and phenomena of a world involving individual moments, time itself, and the countless things that lie in between, coupled with an exploration of the universal and fundamental issue of the flatness and materiality of painting. His exploration continues as each discovery gives way to a subsequent question to be addressed. In an Information Age in which various aspects of the world appear uniform, Aoki’s process of continually exploring things that defy simplistic categorization is evident in his practice. This exhibition features forty new works, with smaller works displayed at the Tennoz location, and larger pieces exhibited at the Kyobashi space. Together, these exhibits constitute Yutaka Aoki’s solo exhibition “U” at KOSAKU KANECHIKA.
