Admirer, 2012
Acrylic on cotton canvas
40x60 inches
Changha Hwang’s frenetic paintings are densely layered with psychedelic lines and planes that stretch across the canvas, zigzagging and colliding in a chaotic, optical overload of cross-pollinating colors, a wired superhighway resembling cyberspace. He relishes the relationship that elements in his paintings have with each other, and emphasizes the tight tension between forms and hues with rigid precision. In his new series of works, grids and quadrilaterals are particularly pronounced in stacked, overlapping layers. They virtually create a spatial depth that, like the Internet, is simultaneously stimulating and mind numbing. Muted gray, diagonal strips slash across surfaces and slice through broad, bright tetragons, evoking images of the layered windows we see on our computer screens every day. With suggestive innuendos like this, Hwang’s shattered and pixilated pieces zealously impersonate our digital era.

Alternatively, physical environments inspired artist Paul Fabozzi. The cities he ambles through on a daily basis propelled him to produce his fresh works of art. Instead of taking the conventional route and capturing stale urban scenes, Fabozzi aimed to reinterpret objective data. His pieces contain high-speed lines that zip through a rainbow of kaleidoscopic constructions, creating what resemble Martian maps of geometric metropolises. In systematized webs with embedded fractured shapes, we see local boroughs and intergalactic provinces pulsing with city rhythm. We also see Fabozzi’s interpretation of the act of walking itself, specifically in terms of time, distance, and the methodical act of counting one’s steps. In this show, the artist’s recent series of works, drawn in color pencil on Mylar, will be exhibited alongside preceding oil paintings. By mapping his personal and emotional concept of topology, Paul Fabozzi is a cartographer who is boldly venturing into new territory.

New York – Yace Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Shigeki Yoshida’s first solo
exhibition with the gallery, entitled Quiescent Metro. The show will open with a reception for
the artist on the evening of Thursday, March 8th, 2012, from 6 to 8 PM.
The show encompasses Yoshida’s early series of photographed cityscapes to more recent
works. For the photographer Shigeki Yoshida, light is not just an element that enables him to
make black and white photographs. It is a suggestive tool that reveals the sensibility of objects,
rather than merely illuminating them. He was fascinated by the difficulty of capturing the
perfect light for photographs, and since then, he has been focused primarily on light’s elusive
quality. Having lived in New York since the late 1990s, Yoshida’s photographs of cityscapes
include iconic sights, though they are presented from his unique perspective. At first glance,
his aesthetic seems haunting, but notice his extraordinary attention to natural light and you’ll
discover unconventional elegance.
The subjects of Yoshida's photographs are spaces, from on the streets to within cavernous
buildings. He offers a fresh take on space and shows beauty that we overlook everyday. While
city streets and renowned museums are typically busy arenas, Yoshida captures serenity
and offers us the opportunity to imagine these areas in a novel manner. In photographs of
museum interiors, Yoshida connects with viewers on a human level with his arresting shots of
artworks and their observers. He communicates with works of art with his distinct perceptive
language, and he will engage you to become a part of his conversation. Before coming to
New York, Yoshida was a successful painter in Japan, and although he changed his medium to
photography, his mature perspective on certain scenes has continued to develop.
