JACOB HASHIMOTO
Miles McEnery Gallery, New York, NY
NEW YORK – Miles McEnery Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by New York-based artist Jacob Hashimoto. The artist’s second solo show with the gallery highlights a series of intimately scaled works on view from 31 October to 7 December 2024.
Each of Hashimoto’s pieces are composed of intricately hand-crafted paper “kites,” as Hashimoto calls them, suspended in mid-air by delicate threads and layered in a complex arrangement. The final creation is like that of a multicellular organism—each microscopic part completely different in form and function, but working seamlessly to contribute to the whole.
This exhibition of small scale compositions serves as a microcosm of Hashimoto’s intricate universe. Through their size, the viewer is invited to interact more personally with his art. As you draw nearer, the sheathes of paper phase shift, and the meticulous details of each kite come into sharper focus. This proximity nurtures a deeper connection, as the work seems to respond to your presence, altering and evolving with every step you take.
Eric Shiner notes, “The loving detail put into each work proves Hashimoto’s unrivaled skill as a maker, just as his ability to convert complex notions on technology and system-building into aesthetically pleasing works of art places him in the vanguard of contemporary artists working today.”
