We cordially invite you, your companions and friends to the opening of Yuki Yamamoto's solo exhibition. The vernissage in the presence of the artist will begin on Sunday, 11 December, at 2 pm.
After the last planned exhibition of the artist was cancelled due to pandemic, we are even more looking forward to a reunion with new paintings from Yamamoto's studio. His pictures, drawn with several layers of colours and overlapping circles, refer to the large and the small, to the macro- and microcosm of the human being.
You can learn more about Yamamoto's new paintings at an artist talk at ARTvent (at Galerie-Haus Hamburg), Friday, 16.12.2022 in our gallery. At 7 pm, Christian Schwanenberger, Senior Professor of particle physics at DESY in Hamburg, will talk to Yuki Yamamoto about his "Images of the Universe".
The coexistence of order and chaos, he says, is the goal. So much from Yuki Yamamoto about his art. An art that borrows its motifs from the cosmic. There are circles or their fragments. They are reminiscent of planets, of orbiting celestial bodies. And all this within thick layers of paint, often applied with transparent varnish. With them, history or time is formed with its various courses and revolutionary orbits. Matter condenses, dissolves again, meets in the vastness of space, only to dissolve again as quickly as it has formed.
What we recognize in Yuki Yamamoto's paintings is space with its sometimes dark, sometimes light material abundance and dark existential emptiness. A coming and going, a constant revolutionizing of existence. Doesn't the concept of revolution come from the astronomical model? But these are also Yuki's images: a human microcosm for which the macrocosm serves as a model. Don't we, too, with our chance encounters, unpredictable switches, the life cocktail of chance and planning, resemble that extraterrestrial "coexistence of order and chaos" that has always been the business of the nocturnal celestial spectacle?... show less
