Dldap/Enogo/Auxar/Dgaen

Aishonanzuka is pleased to announce “Dldap/Enogo/Auxar/Dgaen”, an exhibition by Yoshihiro Kikuchi running from June 24 to July 23. This exhibition will be Kikuchi’s second solo presentation in Hong Kong. The title of this show, “Dldap/Enogo/Auxar/Dgaen” is coined from the keywords for this exhibition, “DEAD” “LANGUAGE” “DOXA” “PORN” which also show the process of Kikuchi’s creations.

Kikuchi’s works focuses on ‘deconstructing specific human characteristics’. Making drawings converted from authorless erotic novels without any subjective judgement of the artist, his work explores our limited perception using shocking photos of corps or porn. In contrast to those works, Kikuchi also examines his subjective beliefs and sensory perceptions with collages using found objects and paintings. Kikuchi has been presenting works that coherently verify his theme from every aspect, from material and the creating process, to its image.
In this exhibition, the contrast of ideas of each work stands out, having the four keywords in its center of concept.

Kikuchi said that to deconstruct the terms “DEAD” “LANGUAGE” “DOXA” “PORN” as a subject of specific human characteristics is a way to deny human nature and to deeply commit to one of human’s most advanced forms of idea, art.

Yoshihiro Kikuchi was born in 1980 in Miyagi and currently works in Miyagi and Tokyo. Recent exhibitions includes “VOCA”, Ueno Royal Museum (Tokyo, 2016) “process” CMAE (Asturias, 2015) “Solo exhibition” AUTOCENTER (Berlin, 2015) “GoldenEyes” AISHONANZUKA (Hong Kong, 2015) “Ethical Split/ Aesrhetic Void" AISHONANZUKA (Hong Kong, 2013).
The artist will be visiting Hong Kong for the exhibition, and an opening reception with the artist will be held on June 24 (Friday) starting at 5pm.
