Harumi Yamaguchi

20 Apr-17 Jun 2017

Overview

Project Native Informant is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Harumi Yamaguchi outside of Asia. A leading name in the world of Japanese advertising, she pioneered the highly dramatic but elusively flat airbrush aesthetic closely associated with commercial illustration. Yamaguchi’s practice places her in the vanguard of new painterly practices and as a celebrated documenter of an emerging feminist aesthetic from the 1970s onwards. This exhibition will feature a series of unique paintings as well as a selection of advertising posters and videos, which are central to Yamaguchi’s practice.
