KOSAKU KANECHIKA is pleased to present Yutaka Aokiʼs solo exhibition, “Knots and Pebbles,” at our Kyobashi gallery from June 12 to July 25, 2026.
The exhibition unfolds as an exploration into the spatial and temporal reorganization of painting, using the square as its fundamental unit. Each individual work visualizes the inherent dynamism latent within this foundational square unit, manifesting it as a transformation within space. This structural concept extends beyond mere form and composition, suggesting that painting is an entity that encapsulates time and remains in perpetual motion. In the galleryʼs smaller room, large-scale square works are positioned to visually establish this principle. Conversely, in the larger room, smaller works are arranged in an ensemble, allowing dynamic structures to permeate the entire space.
By reversing the designated entrance and exit of the venue, the exhibition also intervenes in the temporal directionality of the viewing experience. As visitors move through the gallery, shifting their perspective with every step, the shape of the space appears to be both “a part of something” as well as “all of it.” This approach challenges the conventional static painting, prompting a transformation in the viewer’s perception.
We cordially invite you to visit Yutaka Aoki’s “Knots and Pebbles,” featuring approximately ten works, including large-scale pieces and several set works.
