Installation view: Naotaka Hiro presented by Misako & Rosen, Tokyo

A consistent point of departure for Naotaka Hiro is his body; Hiro uses the unknowable quality of this body to prompt examination and experimentation. In the past, Hiro’s experiments were conducted in the media of film and sculpture; but, in recent years he has used the canvas and wooden panel, as a means to both explore and understand his body and at the same time to generate a body of (art) work. At once performative and a form of self-portrait; Hiro’s large-scale canvases invite reflection through difference and reference art historical gestures from Japan and his adopted home; Los Angeles.
