Hidetaka Suzuki, Johanna Bath, Kanae Takeuchi

Scroll is delighted to present a group exhibition featuring new paintings by Hidetaka Suzuki, Johanna Bath, and Kanae Takeuchi.
 
Hidetaka Suzuki’s paintings explores the nature of fiction and reality, what lies in between both but belongs to neither. He is also interested in the idea that there is no correct interpretation of art and imagery, building compositions from images collected online to explore this duplicity and asking us to question the truthfulness of what we see in front of us. Born in Hokkaido in 1986, Suzuki currently lives and works in Tokyo. This is the artist’s first exhibition in New York.

Johanna Bath finds the visual language for dealing with the loss of the present at any given moment, how memories are stored away in our collective consciousness, how we remember certain moments and why. Captivating the viewer with its quietness, Bath’s works look to the passing of time and its movement through contemplation. Tender and delicate, poetic and feminine, Bath invites the viewer in, getting under the skin through vulnerability and intimacy. Born in 1980 in Warendorf, Germany, Bath currently lives and works in Hamm.

For Kanae Takeuchi, a painting is ‘a perfect place, protected from the outside world.’ Takeuchi draws the places she sees at a scale that allows the artist to confront them with her impressions at the time, but her works are not reproductions. Through the process of painting, we become conscious of every corner of the picture, allowing both artist and viewer’s individual gaze to exist. Born in 1988 in Hiroshima, Takeuchi currently lives and works in Tokyo. This is Takeuchi’s first exhibition in the US.

We would like to thank the artists and Enari Gallery for this exciting collaboration.
