Kensuke Koike Artist Talk

  • Blue Sky Gallery 122 Northwest 8th Avenue Portland, OR, 97209 United States (map)

Join January artist Kensuke Koike for an Artist Talk regarding his Blue Sky exhibition, Dear Friend.

THIS ARTIST TALK WILL TAKE PLACE ON ZOOM

In Dear Friend, Koike deconstructs vintage photographs or postcards to create new images by cutting, pasting and reassembling by hand. Many of his works visually transform in utilizing the approach of “nothing added, nothing removed,” by rearranging the pieces and parts, into something completely reimagined. Koike’s eye for the surreal reinvents found imagery into surprising and delightful objects. His “renewed” photographs challenge the viewer’s expectations with new associations that reveal humor, curiosity, absurdity, and beauty.
