Fruits by Hisakazu Shimizu
July 3 - August 21, 2011
Opening reception: Sunday, July 3rd from 4:00 pm
Entitled Fruits, the exhibition presents
Hisakazu Shimizu’s newest series of works of the same name. Fascinated
by the juxtaposition of fruit, a borderless product of nature, being expressed
within the realm of ”pop culture”, a man-made construction,
Shimizu set about producing these pieces with the same aggressive stance
as his Japanese History series. The exhibition features a wide range of
works, from lighting pieces to tableware and clocks. Also on display will
be two Hairstyle mirrors, an edition of Galerie Downtown/François
Laffanour, Paris
The exhibition is curated by Eizo Okada
Japanese
designer Hisakazu Shimizu is a member of Canon's in-house design team,
whose better known works include product lines such as the Canon digital
IXUS camera. Shimizu also develops his own products under the guise of
'Sabo Studio' creating colorful and simplistic pieces that in some cases
border on art installations.
Hisakazu Shimizu lives and works in Tokyo, Japan
