Details
With a kite form serving as his central organizing principle, internationally known artist Jacob Hashimoto creates complex artworks that range from large installations to small-scale prints and sculptures. Through meticulous craftsmanship, he creates abstract, layered, geometric compositions and modular constructions that reference video games, virtual environments, and cosmology. His designs are deeply rooted in art historical traditions, notably landscape-based abstraction, Minimalism, and handcraft.
This exhibition at the Boise Art Museum (BAM) marks the artist's first solo museum exhibition in Idaho and features Hashimoto's drawings, prints, and paper sculptures, along with an expansive, site-specific installation, "The Fractured Giant," in BAM's Sculpture Court. Combining traditional kite- and pattern-making techniques, printmaking, and collage into a sculptural environment, the artist has created an immersive installation with more than twenty thousand delicate kites made of Japanese paper, pigment, and bamboo. Building and layering his materials within the architecture of the space, Hashimoto has composed a visually stunning landscape made completely by hand.
Jacob Hashimoto was born in Greeley, Colorado in 1973 and grew up in Walla Walla, Washington. He is a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He lives and works in Ossining, New York.
This exhibition is on display at BAM from January 21, 2023 – January 21, 2024.
