Pace will present an exhibition by Kohei Nawa at its Los Angeles gallery from April 11 to June 6. Marking the Japanese multidisciplinary artist’s first solo show in Los Angeles, this presentation will bring together 20 new works from two of his iconic sculptural series—PixCell and Prism—creating a cohesive environment in which his sculptures engage directly with the architecture of the gallery’s main exhibition space.

Drawing out the unique properties of various traditional and unconventional materials in his paintings, sculptures, and installations, Nawa explores nuanced relationships between physical and virtual spaces, synthetic and natural forces, and the individual and the collective. Intrinsic to his practice is a rigorous engagement with technologies that traverse eras and cultures, particularly information technologies. Visual distortions and transformations cut across his artworks, encouraging viewers to consider the ways that digital technologies impact their relationship to and experience of the physical world.

Nawa has also expanded his practice into the fields of architecture and performance—he is currently presenting Mirage and Planet [wanderer], performance works created in collaboration with choreographer Damien Jalet, in select European and Asian cities.
