SACHIKO KAMIKI: Parody
Beijing
2024.01.20 - 02.24
The Whitestone Gallery Beijing is honored to present Sachiko Kamiki’s (b.1991)solo exhibition “Parody” from Jan.20th to Feb. 24th, 2024. Marking her first solo show in Beijing, this exhibition unveils her latest series of works.
Before the pandemic, art was satirical, and reality existed as an optimistic fantasy. After the pandemic, the real world took on a satirical tone, inspiring me to spread positivity through art. I persist in using characters as my creative theme, and in this exhibition, I intentionally bring art closer to the audience through easily understood symbols.
This showcase employs highly recognizable symbolic characters and objects, including Monroe, ballerinas, Alice, Haribo, etc., aiming to demystify the challenge of "what is being depicted" in the contemporary art context through a symbolic painting language. This approach facilitates easier entry into the contemporary art world for the audience and diminishes aversions resulting from a lack of understanding about contemporary art contexts. Kamiki aspires to assist audiences in embracing the contemporary art world through engaging content and vibrant colors.
