Kenji Fujita
Will and Weather
September 18 - October 23, 2016
Opening Reception: Sunday September 18th, 6-8pm
SOLOWAY is pleased to present Will and Weather, Kenji Fujita's first solo exhibition with the gallery.
Kenji Fujita is a visual artist who makes work out of ordinary materials such as wood, fabric, paper and paint. For his flat work, he creates commonplace geometries of shape and form that are then cut, pressed and glued into unexpected amalgams of order and disorder. With his constructed wall pieces, these relations of shape, form and structure become animated as the viewer engages the work from different points of view.
Will and Weather is a phrase that originated in a Wallace Stevens poem. Will suggests both intent and some future proposition. Weather is something that cannot be controlled.
Kenji Fujita has been making work for over 30 years. He was born in New York City and now lives and works in Staatsburg, NY. He teaches at Bard College and SVA.
A catalogue will be forthcoming.
