We are pleased to announce our participation to the "Art Fair Tokyo 2016". This time, we were selected for the section "PROJECTS" in this fair and will present British artist Rachel Adames' solo show at our booth.
Our Encounter with Rachel Adams focused on the sculpture work she presented in the group exhibition "Paper" held in 2013 at Saatchi Gallery in London. The work appeared to possess the features of classic bronze and stone sculptures, but we perceived something strange with the sculpture’s sense of weight. As one looked at it closer, the sculpture was composed with colored paper, which impressed us deeply with this unprecedented use of a familiar material. She participated in our group exhibition "'Material and Form' in a digital age" and had her solo exhibition "Open Studio" at our gallery in 2015. Then she is staying and working in Roma from October 2015 as the recipient of the Sainsbury Scholarship in Painting and Sculpture by the British School at Rome.
Influenced by sculptural history of the 20th century Adams has been considering images of the sculptor's studio and the sculptor at work. Alongside this she has been drawing on images from contemporary furniture and lifestyle blogs. Using hand dyed fabric, digitally fabricated acrylic shapes and traditional sculptural tools, this new series of sculptures aims to highlight contradictions in both our perceived notions of history and hierarchical structures separating art from design.
For this fair, we will present her sculptures associated with sculptor's studio and the works for wall, which will lead you into somewhere between art and design or between two dimension and three dimension.
