SUMMARY:Hiromitsu Morimoto\, 1942–2026
DESCRIPTION:JHB Gallery is saddened to mark the passing of artist Hiromitsu Morimoto. Over a career of more than five decades\, the New York–based photographer cast his compellingly lyrical eye over a range of subjects: from portraits and the human body to commonplace architectural details\, domestic interiors\, flowers and landscapes. \nEngaging with traditional photographic processes including silver gelatin and platinum printing\, often enhanced with graphite or pigments\, Morimoto’s work creates its own unique space between painting and photography. Applying liquid emulsions on supports ranging from vellum and linen to watercolor and printmaking papers\, the artist individualized exposure and development\, resulting in works whose finishes span dark and rich through a barely-there lightness of tone. \nA series of silver-on-white works include images of shirts and other garments hung loosely on hangers or draped over limbs\, as well as interiors and architectural details whose touching corners and molded contours become softly sensualized. Portraits and nudes in silver gelatin emulsions on linen\, on the other hand\, achieve a tonal density that pulls subject and support into a tight embrace. Light or dark\, Morimoto’s work creates what Tadayasu Sakai\, writing on the artist\, describes as “a new horizon of seeing”: a sensual merging of figure and ground that pushes toward the thresholds of visibility. \nWith an instinctive and sometimes idiosyncratic eye for framing and cropping\, Morimoto’s work displays a rare ability to elevate the specific to the archetypal—all the while\, retaining the sense of longing that lies at the heart of photography’s power. \n“In the end\, don’t all photographs stir up impossible desires for things we miss? This is because the access they provide to objects whose reality we can never grasp has frozen time through the magical spell of the instant.”\n—Tadayasu Sakai \nView the exhibition online here. \nHiromitsu Morimoto was born in Yokohama\, Japan\, in 1942 and studied art at the Art Students League\, New York\, NY\, and California State University\, Long Beach\, CA. During his lifetime\, he had over thirty solo exhibitions internationally\, and his work has been included in exhibitions at venues including Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, MA; Amon Carter Museum of American Art\, Ft. Worth\, TX; WestLicht Museum for Photography\, Vienna\, Austria; C/O\, Berlin\, Germany; Suenkok Art Museum\, Seoul\, Korea; XXI São Paulo Biennial\, São Paulo\, Brazil; Yokohama Museum of Contemporary Art\, Yokohama\, Japan; and Connecticut State Art Museum\, Storrs\, CT. Morimoto’s work can be found in important public collections including Baltimore Museum of Art\, Baltimore\, MD; Brookings Institute\, Washington\, DC; Japan Foundation\, New York\, NY; Milwaukee Art Museum\, Milwaukee\, WI; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, TX; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, NY; Museum of Modern Art\, Toyama\, Japan; Philadelphia Museum of Art\, Philadelphia\, PA; and National Museum of Modern Art\, Tokyo\, Japan.

SUMMARY:Robert The: Book Work
DESCRIPTION:Artist Robert The creates sculptural works in which books are transformed with subversive wit and scrupulous invention. Often working with remaindered volumes that were part of large-scale mass-market editions\, the artist transfigures these objects through singular gestures such as through-slicing words and cutting out new iconic forms. Always uniquely appropriate to his source material\, the artist’s interventions have included turning a bible into a grenade and a Malevich monograph into a Kalashnikov. \nFor History of Art\, 2017\, The modifies a copy of H.W. Janson’s ubiquitous art history doorstopper by slicing ‘bristles’ into its leaved edge and affixing a broom handle to its spine. This remarkable sculptural hybrid could be designed for sweeping away the remnants of a dated art history—or reminding us of the alternate histories swept under the carpet by Janson’s grand narrative. \nWith The Illustrated Story of “O”\, 2005\, the artist highlights the violence at the core of the notorious “erotic” novel\, cutting a nested handgun through the book. As with all his work\, The’s disruptive gesture manages to hold the original book and its new form in an urgent\, engaging open conversation with one another. \nIn Philosophical Investigations\, 2017\, the artist cuts the word THIS all the way through a copy of Wittgenstein’s opus\, suggesting both an analog for indexical meaning\, as well as a counter to linguistic relativity through a gesture toward presentness. \nView the exhibition online here. \nWhile the precision of Robert The’s work suggests the use of die or laser-cut processes\, the works are in fact all directly cut by the artist. Playfully referring to his work as “precision vandalism”\, The prefers to avoid marks of the hand-crafted and high-end: his book works instead foreground the laser-like sharpness of their creator’s inventiveness. \n  \nRobert The studied philosophy and mathematics at the University of Wisconsin\, Madison\, and design at the Institute of Lettering and Design in Chicago. His work has been included in exhibitions at Yale University Art Gallery\, New Haven\, CT; the Bonner Kunstverein\, Bonn\, Germany; Momenta Art\, Brooklyn NY; Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis\, MN; Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art\, SUNY\, New Paltz\, NY; Center for Book Arts\, New York\, NY; and Parsons School of Design\, New York\, NY. The artist’s work can be found in the permanent collections of Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\, CA; The Museum of Modern Art Artist Book Collection\, New York\, NY; New York Public Library\, Print Collection\, New York\, NY; Walker Art Center Library\, Minneapolis\, MN; Yale University Library\, Arts of the Book Collection\, New Haven\, CT; and Banff Centre Library\, Banff\, Alberta\, Canada\, among many others.

SUMMARY:John Noestheden: Signals & Echoes
DESCRIPTION:John Noestheden’s Signal and Echo works represent a unique standalone series within the artist’s celebrated Diamond Drawings. \nWhere many of the Diamond Drawings incorporate randomized procedures to create compositions referencing star formations\, in the Signal and Echo pieces\, Noestheden explores the possibilities of the grid as a structure through which he can introduce variation and unpredictability. \nMeticulously plotted out in pencil\, whose intersecting lines provide the nexus points for the application of the artist’s Swarovski silver crystals\, each work is rooted in mathematical structure: grids\, geometric patterns\, and repeating shapes. As always\, the crystals’ ability to refract light creates a dynamic and playful viewer experience\, one the artist further manipulates through the employment of varying crystal sizes\, both interior to the grids and in overall blocks of form. \nThe titles Signal and Echo evoke the search for meaning and the potential for communication with the cosmos. While the grids embody the methodical mapping of scientific enquiry\, the variations in the crystals’ geometric patterns and the randomized light reflections from their multifaceted surfaces\, in turn\, promise pattern within the chaos. “Messages arrive as pulses\, reverberations\, and distortions\, hinting at knowledge we can sense but not yet decode”\, writes the artist. \nOf course\, much of the light we receive from the cosmos is traveling millions of light years from stars that may no longer exist. Noestheden’s works manifest this poetic quality of light as fleeting afterimage\, temporal and contingent\, a universe that continues to speak through its echoes. \n“These lingering impressions speak to the persistence of memory and time: the shimmer of existence that continues after disappearance.” \nJohn Noestheden was born in Amsterdam in 1945 and moved to Canada in 1952. He received a BFA from the University of Windsor and an MFA from Tulane University\, New Orleans. In 1990 the artist accepted a position at the University of Regina teaching sculpture and drawing\, and since 2010\, has been living and working in Ontario. He has had over thirty solo exhibitions internationally\, and his work is represented in Canadian and U.S. museums\, as well as public and private collections. \nView the exhibition online here:\nhttps://www.artnet.com/galleries/jhb-gallery/signals-echoes

SUMMARY:Guy Laramée: Livros
DESCRIPTION:Guy Laramée has been working with books as a sculptural medium for over twenty years. Carving directly into the bound pages of vintage volumes\, the artist creates intricately detailed landscapes and architectures\, often textured and painted to render complex topographies and surface vegetation. Laramée frequently works with old dictionaries and encyclopedias\, bringing the geological timescale of mountain and desert landscapes into contact with the canons of knowledge represented by these beautiful yet often dated volumes; the artist has spoken of the tension he wishes to explore between static forms of knowledge and the wonder and immediacy of our relationship to the natural world. \nIn 2022\, Laramée relocated to a new mountainside studio in Nova Friburgo\, Brazil. Much of his work since then has been inspired by the dramatic peaks of the nearby Pico da Caledônia. In this new Livros series\, the artist introduces novel techniques to his practice including carving the pages of his books with high-pressure water and stripping the books of their covers to reveal their sewn bindings—allowing Laramée to manipulate and distort their shapes as the books dry. The dramatic final works have a new abstraction and materiality to them as they transport us to the otherworldly remoteness of their mountainside landscapes. \nVisit the exhibition online here. \nGuy Laramée received an MA in Visual Arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal\, Montréal\, Quebéc\, as well as an MA in Anthropology from Concordia University\, Montréal\, Quebéc. The artist’s work has been exhibited at the Paul Smith boutique\, New York\, NY; Center for Book Arts\, New York\, NY; Museum Sinclair-Haus\, Bad Homburg\, Germany; Yale University Art Gallery\, New Haven\, CT; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\, NY; and Maisons de la culture de Montréal\, Montréal\, Québec. His work can be found in the collections of Bibliotéque Nationale du Québec\, Montréal\, Québec; Cameron Art Museum\, Wilmington\, NC; City of Las Vegas\, Las Vegas\, NV; Michigan State University Libraries\, East Lansing\, MI; University of Michigan Special Libraries\, Ann Arbor\, MI; Museum of Art and Design\, New York\, NY; and Musée National des Beaux-arts du Québec\, Québec City\, Québec\, Canada. Laramée’s work has received extensive press coverage in publications including Designboom\, Artnet News\, COLOSSAL\, The New York Times\, Artforum\, The Paris Review\, Huffington Post\, Wired\, and Hyperallergic.
