“Future Days: Eimei Kaneyama” Installation view at Whistle ©WhistleWhistle features Future Days: Eimei Kaneyama, a solo exhibition by Eimei Kaneyama (b. 1981), on view from August 18 through September 23.
Eimei Kaneyama is a Tokyo-born artist currently based in South Korea. Kaneyama creates abstract shapes on canvas based on articles and landscapes the artist encounters in daily life. In the nine paintings in this exhibition, the colors of green, yellow, sky, and orange harmoniously fill the screen. The works are generally soft and peaceful.
Whistle previously hosted two solo exhibitions of the artist’s work, in 2017 and 2020, and this exhibition highlights the processes of determinacy and indeterminacy that take place within the artist’s work. The exhibition’s preface emphasizes that a painting does not just appear on the canvas as intended but is the result of both intended and unintended elements. Also, the unfinished and the finished parts of the painting come together to form a work.
In this exhibition, the viewer can experience the paintings by focusing on this formative process that takes place within the artist’s canvas.
