Tyler Park Presents

Known for his paintings of urban landscapes in artist-made frames, Shigeta’s latest body of work explores and emphasizes arboreal subjects. The locations of the depicted span far and wide from Los Angeles to Tokyo to New York, with scenes that feel as though just down the street from you, but are actually found on another continent. His focus lies distinctly on symmetry and/or asymmetry, finding the geometry and light in places people walk past every day. The use of framing in the work not only provides a way to display the paintings, but also pushes into a sculptural realm.
