KOICHI ENOMOTO: Broadcasting / Dreaming - Opening Reception

Nonaka Hill Los Angeles is delighted to present new paintings by the Kanagawa-based artist Koichi Enomoto. In his second solo exhibition with the gallery, he continues to depict the social behavior and ideologies undergirding Japanese, and by extension, all contemporary culture. Exposed by his dual employment of manga and photorealism, their effects are both cutting and humorous, mirroring the all too familiar internal and external tensions inherent to post-capitalist life. Through exacting detail, rigorous patterning and surprising juxtapositions, Enomoto’s paintings impress our retinas with technical virtuosity, but also in their questioning of the status quo, embedding them within the tradition of pictorial social critique.
