Reiko Kanazawa
Reiko Kanazawa employs different media such as installation, sculpture, video and text, and questions the diverging perceptions of reality in a poetic manner, particularly focussing on the contrasting vantage points in Japan and the West. Using an artistic strategy characterised to equal degrees by fine irony and a refreshing triviality, Kanazawa attempts to undermine apparently […]

A persistent motif in his works – whether they are large-format, often several-part paintings or space-consuming sculptures – is the reproduction and investigation of worlds which […]

Quint’s formal repertoire employs painting, sculpture, drawing and collage; thematically, the artist makes use of both the past and the present. In Quint’s work, the […]
