EVENTS

Talley Dunn Gallery is honored to announce the inaugural exhibition with internationally renowned artist Jacob Hashimoto. Created specifically for the gallery’s immense exhibition space, Hashimoto will present a monumental site-specific installation, consisting of thousands of hand-painted elements suspended from the ceiling, as well as three-dimensional wall works and large-scale works on paper. We invite you to join us in celebrating Hashimoto on Saturday, October 5th with a reception for the artist from 5pm – 7pm, and artist remarks at 6pm.

Using sculpture, painting, and installation, Jacob Hashimoto creates complex worlds from a range of modular components: bamboo-and-paper kites, model boats, even astroturf-covered blocks. His accretive, layered compositions reference video games, virtual environments, and cosmology, while also remaining deeply rooted in art-historical traditions notably, landscape-based abstraction, modernism, and handcraft. Watch the artist’s process here.
