From Dallas Contemporary:
“dallas contemporary is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by tokyo-based artist tomoo gokita, marking the first north american museum exhibition of his career. opening june 12, get down will feature gokita’s latest large-scale paintings, including a number of never-before-seen works made under lockdown during the pandemic.
while the artist first gained notoriety in 2005 for his monochromatic palette and grayscale figurative paintings, gokita’s latest works illustrate a major departure for his practice. launching into a vast world of vibrant pastels, the artist’s dallas contemporary exhibition presents familiar motifs of pin-up models, female wrestlers and familial portraiture alongside mundane symbols embedded in our current reality that now hedge on absurdism in the wake of the past year’s events”
