Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to announce our participation in Art Miami. The gallery has shown in the Miami art fairs since 2013 and we are thrilled to be exhibiting in Art Miami for the third time. Our booth will exhibit new works by Kim Cogan, Francisco Diaz Scotto (Pastel), Jean Jullien, Natalia Juncadella, So Youn Lee and Pat Perry.
Kim Cogan’s oil paintings exploit the expressive nature of the medium to represent the many moods and environs of American cities. Cogan eschews the iconic views of places such as New York, Chicago, and his adopted home of San Francisco in favor of more common sights: alleyways, homes, cemeteries, and residential neighborhoods. Francisco Diaz Scotto (Pastel) is a painter and architect from Argentina. He references local flora in his paintings, using memories and emotions from his past roots as a missionary to create works that represent a myriad of home scenes, outdoor jungles, twilight hours and the occasional house dog. Jean Jullien is a French artist living and working in Paris. His practice ranges from painting and illustration to photography, video, costume, installations, books, posters and clothing to create a coherent yet eclectic body of work. He has exhibited around the world in museums and galleries in Paris, London, Brussels, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Berlin, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore and beyond.
So Youn Lee is best known for her ethereal, dream-like aesthetic with explosions of colors and textures, centering around a child-like no-gender character named ‘Mango'. Lee's experience as an immigrant inspired her to regard her own identity and express it with her art. 'Mango' reflects Lee's contemplation of 'what can be the essence of human being', and portrays the ideals and struggles of human existence as aliens and voyagers in her work. Pat Perry is an American visual artist based in small downtown neighborhood on Detroit's East Side. The artist works primarily in painting, drawing, photographing, and installing large-scale outdoor mural installations.Perry’s ongoing series of Recital works use a fictional group of performers to animate social and emotional effects of 21st century technologies, as well as knowledge limits of individual meaning-making.
