LAG is pleased to announce the exhibition \u201cReframing\u201d by Reiko Kinoshita, from Friday, May 30, 2025, to Saturday, June 21, 2025.<\/p>\n

Kinoshita has created a unique style of painting that visualizes irreversible changes and traces by focusing on the wrinkles and creases engraved in the materials, spraying paint onto them, and incorporating their changes over time, such as tanning and photosensitivity. The choice of materials is the starting point of her creation, and figuring out the \u201cimage\u201d hidden in the materials and acting layering as an artist to those faint signs is characteristic of Kinoshita\u2019s paintings.<\/p>\n

This exhibition introduces diverse expressions that Kinoshita has been working on in recent years. Some of them are a series that uses fabrics and patterned clothes as supports, a series that reconstructs viewpoints based on experiences of wild birds watching, a series that adopts the keyword \u201cback to the original location\u201d into the process, with her new works as well.<\/p>\n

Reframing, the title which means redefining outside of the box, symbolizes Kinoshita’s recent interest in rethinking the formal structures of paintings and the frameworks of awareness of things in our daily lives.<\/p>\n

Underlying a series of all her works is what Kinoshita calls \u201cthe latent image,\u201d which has eyes for the image hidden within the objects. It emerges from the intersection of the artist’s intervention with the nature of the physical supports, such as fabrics or papers, the environmental factors like lights or atmosphere, and ultimately leads to tranquil reconstructions of the paintings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2014Artist Statement\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I choose papers or fabrics, I already have an image of the whole, which is the starting point of my painting progress. Their not pristine conditions, wrinkles, folds, creases, tanning, or photosensitivity already have inside hidden images before I even take the paintbrushes.<\/p>\n

The technique of spattering a mist of paint, which mimics sunlight streaming through the windows, is also connected with the process of film developed in the darkroom. The image, called \u201cthe latent image,\u201d originally existed in pictures or photographic papers and could not be seen with the naked eye before its development. After a photochemical reaction, it becomes visible and can be presented as the image drawn by the materials.<\/p>\n

The latent images exist on the fabrics and papers are spreading out on the table and even inside our bodies. As for me, waiting for the images with paints rather than lights is the most important time in my creations.<\/em><\/p>\n
