Hollywood
Nonaka-Hill Los Angeles debuts Broadcasting / Dreaming by Koichi Enomoto. This is the second solo show for the Kanagawa-based artist with the gallery. Through his new paintings, Enomoto continues to depict the social behavior and ideologies undergirding Japanese, and thus by extension, all contemporary culture.
Exposed by his dual employment of manga and photorealism, their effects are both cutting and humorous. Therefore mirroring the all too familiar internal and external tensions inherent to post-capitalist life. Through exacting detail, rigorous patterning, as well as surprising juxtapositions, Enomoto’s paintings exhibit technical virtuosity. Additionally, it begs to question the status quo, embedding them within the tradition of pictorial social critique.
