KANA KAWANISHI GALLERY is pleased to present “Geometric Nodes,” a solo exhibition by Ryoichi Fujisaki starting October 26, 2024.

 

Ryoichi Fujisaki has been developing various series of works in which he sublimates familiar materials from the known to a new form of expression by combining his deep knowledge and curiosity about “materials” with “physicality” and intertwining the element of “phenomenon.” This exhibition, his first at KANA KAWANISHI GALLERY in four years, will focus on two series, Scan and Meltism. 

 

The title of this exhibition includes the word “Geometric” and then the word “Node,” which could mean a specific moment in the spheres of mathematics, computer networks, physics, astronomy, botany, and others: e.g., “nodal point” means a point of intersection of curves in mathematics, “wave node” is a point of rest of an oscillating body in physics, “orbital node” is a point where the orbits of celestial bodies in revolutionary motion intersect a reference plane, and a “node” in botany is the place where a branch of a stem or a leaf arises. 

​

Geometry is “the study of the properties of figures derived from the necessity of studying the properties of figures through the observation of objects and phenomena in space that humans can perceive,” and Fujisaki approaches geometry from the artistic realm through the medium of his own physicality.

​

Since his debut, Fujisaki has consistently emphasized physical intuition in his work, and in this day and age when artificial intelligence is replacing intellectual labor at an accelerating pace, his works may be said to be extracting the work of human beings with a higher degree of purity. We cordially invite all to this exhibition to see Ryoichi Fujisaki’s expression, created by crossing the beautiful forms derived from nature with more organic and instantaneous physicality.
