EXHIBITION
TABAIMO
Born in 1975 in Hyogo Prefecture, Tabaimo achieved worldwide acclaim after representing Japan at the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011. She is known for her large-scale video installations that employ meticulously hand-drawn images inspired by manga, anime, and ukiyo-e woodblock prints to depict surreal narratives that unfold within seemingly innocuous everyday and domestic settings. Whether depicting a commuter train or public restroom, Tabaimo’s wry choice of vibrant colors offer an ironic contrast to the uncanny, macabre scenarios they depict. This approach allows her to reveal the darker undercurrents that lie beneath the veneer of polite society in a disarming way. This solo exhibition—her first with the gallery in six years—will feature several video installations.
