Blessings and Curses of This World

Buchmann Galerie is pleased to announce Gajin Fujita's first solo exhibition at the gallery for Berlin Art Week. Gajin Fujita (born 1972 in Los Angeles, USA) masterfully plays with the codes of American popular culture and interweaves them with pictorial elements of the diverse ethnic cultures in a globalized world. Logos of multinational companies are fused with motifs reminiscent of the woodcuts and ukiyo-e paintings of the Edo period, the tribal signs of graffiti form the background for Raphael's putti, a truly contemporary cosmos of hyper-entanglement opens up. Gajin Fujita also emphasizes the tension between tradition and the present by using gold leaf for the background, as was used for precious paintings from the Orient to the Occident.
