STANDING PINE

Standing Pine Tokyo is pleased to announce Joël Andrianomearisoa's solo exhibition ALL OF ME TAKES ALL OF ME, opening from Saturday 26th October.

All of me takes all of me is a new series of works by Joël Andrianomearisoa in the continuity of his textile works, created especially for Standing Pine Gallery in Tokyo. Simultaneously paintings and tapestries, these new works question the notion of self-portrait and intimacy.

Joël Andrianomearisoa's research continues to focus on matter and materiality, particularly textiles and fabrics.　And it's always the emotion that lies in the unreasonable.
But in this new series we have two new approaches that add to the fundamental principles of the artist's work.

Firstly, it's about clothes.　Clothes as the main and exclusive medium of these works. The artist's clothes. Suits worn and worn out by the artist. Joël Andrianomearisoa's uniforms, part of his daily experience. His intimacy. Part of his life.

Secondly, we are talking about painting and colour. Painting as the subject of the self-portrait - painting, real painting too, but instead of oils, acrylics and watercolours... it's the textile that offers itself to the canvas to give it a new script.

In the intimate unveiling of this work, Joël Andrianomearisoa unsettles both our visual perception and our preconceptions about the ideology of painting.　We are on the verge of a New Wave of painting that takes us far away, but always closer to our hearts.

Hours: 12:00 - 18:00 (From Tuesday to Saturday)
