Press Release
Ulterior Gallery is pleased to present Deconstructed Bodies, E’wao Kagoshima’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, opening April 24. Following Kagoshima’s institutional exhibition with the Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA) in New York last year, Animated Minds, this exhibition brings forward lesser-known works by Kagoshima to the contemporary discourse.
The exhibition features Kagoshima’s mixed-media drawings and collage works from the late 1970s and early 1980s, created a few years after his move from Tokyo to New York in 1976. His experiences in the city had a fundamental effect on him as he established his practice. The selection focuses on Kagoshima’s interests in figuration as a conduit to introspection. Through surrealistic imagery and ideas inspired by the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, he developed depictions of the human body in states of flux—disintegrating, transforming, and reforming.
