Reception Party : Fri. 2 Dec. 18:00-20:00

CASHI is pleased to advise of holding a Yugo Kohrogi’s exhibition titled “boiling point”.

Kohrogi is a painter who paints women or animal motifs with a touch of cream melting in the mouth. The voluptuous and graceful texture makes even the inside of the motif flit about, and his expression, fraught with shady or painful sensations that feel tangible but really intangible, has attracted many fans.
The “l” series, a series of his representative works, uses pornographic images that come and go on the Internet as a motif, painting every image through his own eyes. The crudeness of human behavior is instantly purified by going through his eyes, and the motif is sublimed into fragile but amorous, yet graceful presence.

At the exhibition “melting point”, held at CASHI in the year before last, the “l” series, his memorable masterpiece, was exhibited as the main feature, and he repeatedly made his expressions focusing on “the instant a solid transforms into a liquid”, that is, the instant something begins to melt.
This time, however, the title will be “boiling point”, and he unfolds a new series of works, with the keyword “the instant of evaporation”, that is, the instant something melted transforms into gas. This is also a quest for incompleteness of visual sense illustrated by the presence of something in the air which is invisible but which does exist.
Plants, clouds and women were taken into motifs and he accomplished images solider than before.

At the reception party on the opening day of December 2, the artist will be present in person. We would like to invite you hereby to the exhibition to appreciate Kohrogi’s new works which have become even more sensuous and dynamic.
