Blum & Poe is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Tokyo-based painter Tomoo Gokita. In his piercing, psychologically charged monochrome and greyscale paintings, Gokita portrays stylized cultural types against ambiguous backgrounds. Whether depicting wrestlers, starlets, dancers, or newlyweds, the artist shrouds his subjects in an atmosphere of eerie anonymity. Some compositions seem grounded in specific art historical references — ranging from Surrealism to post-war German figurative painting — yet are often imbued with the syntax of mainstream culture and its more obscure undercurrents. Viewers are left scavenging their memories for cultural indicators or contexts to complete the elusive, often inscrutable narratives before them. In the group portrait "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" (2018) featured above, a seated woman, rendered with unusual fidelity, stares directly at the viewer. Her uncomfortably crossed legs and conjoined hands emphasize the ultimate aim of Gokita's art: the implication of the viewer in the psychological questioning of the construction of collective cultural memory. Opening September 8 at Blum & Poe LA
