Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to present Daido Moriyama / Sayre Gomez “Hellooooo,” a dialogue between the paintings and sculptures of American artist Sayre Gomez and the photography of Daido Moriyama. Both artists investigate the fundamentals of their respective cities, Los Angeles and Tokyo, which are deeply rooted in their work and represented by their distinct visual languages.
Sayre Gomez has garnered recognition for his photorealistic paintings, which focus on fragments of the urban sprawl that is the Los Angeles landscape. His work questions concepts of history, memory, authenticity, and the ways in which we see and make meaning from our lived environment.
Since moving from Osaka to Tokyo in his youth, Daido Moriyama has been documenting Shinjuku—the city he describes as “the first place that left him feeling completely at a loss”—for decades, beginning in the 1960s. Moriyama, who admits to being drawn to the “tingling” and chaotic energy of Shinjuku, captures the city’s representations and surfaces through his photography. This relentless pursuit of surface reality becomes the defining characteristic of his artistic practice.
