Interwoven

aaploit presents Interwoven, a three-person exhibition featuring Tatsumi Nene, Dayama Hakusai, and Nagahara Naoki, on view from August 23 through September 8, 2024.

This exhibition addresses the body, the psyche, and society. Against Nagahara Naoki's experimentalist practice, Dayama Hakusai's direct—yet pathological—work and Tatsumi Nene's depiction of social structures are brought together to show, through the work of three artists, what human beings look like. The exhibition space is composed so that each artist's work co-creates and competes. Tatsumi's paintings of human society are positioned to connect Nagahara's introspective work with Dayama's practice of covering representations in PTP blister packs used for pharmaceutical tablets.

Dayama states: "I paint cheerful girls with medicine that makes you cheerful." Nagahara, drawing on his own thesis—"A Study on Self-Domestication in Domestication Syndrome and Its Effects, and Considerations on Creativity and Mental Illness in Art"—paints abstract works from a pathological perspective. From his interest in the psyche, he also generates images using artificial intelligence. Tatsumi, with a background in law, produces work that examines what law is, how law sees people, and what it means to be human.

The exhibition seeks to address the theme of sustaining life through the work of these three artists.
