The Ica Foundation welcomes Gumbo, the first solo exhibition in an Italian institution by the Japanese artistTomoo Gokita (Tokyo, 1969) curated by Alberto Salvadori.
Among the main Japanese artists active on the international scene, Tomoo Gokita draws from American subculturesof the Sixties and Seventies to compose a visual vocabulary that sees ballerinas, wrestlers, andstarlets merge into abstract compositions, in the creation of unique imaginary worlds with a dreamlike flavor.
In Gumbo, Tomoo Gokita presents a selection of works that includes sixteen paintings, a series of drawingsand four sculptures created specifically for the spaces of the ICA Foundation in Milan.
The underlying themeof the exhibition is the banality of everyday life, expressed in the depiction of ordinary subjects immersedin distorted and surreal settings. By emphasizing the psychological dimension and the emotional interpretation ofcolors and shapes, Tomoo Gokita ranges between figuration and abstraction and constructs a universe populated by recurring elementssuch as female figures and scarecrows.
