The baudoin lebon gallery presents the exhibition of Japanese artist Keiji Uematsu, entitled “Looking back on the past from the future”. The exhibition, which will run from April 13th to June 3rd, will cover the artist’s five-decade career and showcase four photographic series from the 1970s, in which he uses his own body by confronting it with objects in carefully orchestrated compositions, captured with a camera. By exploring the flux of time, he blurs the principles of attraction, gravity, weight, and weightlessness. The exhibition also includes more recent drawings and sculptures that reflect the artist’s constant quest to highlight invisible forces and materialize intangible but universal phenomena.
Exhibition from April 12 to July 29, 2023.
