Jacob Hashimoto Represented By Miles McEnery Gallery

Miles McEnery Gallery is pleased to announce the representation of Jacob Hashimoto.

Jacob Hashimoto’s layered compositions are deeply rooted in art historical tradition while exploring contemporary themes, referencing video games, virtual environments, and cosmology. The multi disciplinary, atmospheric installations treat traditional landscape-based abstraction, modernism, and handcraft as leaping off points. Meticulously constructed with delicate materials, Hashimoto’s three-dimensional constellations incorporate pigment-coated rice paper, bamboo, and cotton thread, combined with heavier metals, paint, and resin. The resulting kaleidoscopic worlds traverse and transcend the boundaries of conventional abstraction. These organic and complex works, spanning the vast context of the gallery space, invite viewers to reflect on the natural world and human existence within the ever shifting, intricate universe.
