Yohta Matsuoka
Alpha Contemporary is pleased to present “Yohta Matsuoka: Fake Plastic Apples” from April 25 to May 14, 2025.
This exhibition introduces “still life paintings” created from the unique perspective of Yohta Mastuoka, who lives in this day and age, using the format of “still life paintings” that have appeared in the history of art since the end of the Renaissance. ”Still-life paintings” exclude human figures and are depicted with unmoving objects that are far removed from their natural surroundings. In his still-life paintings, Yohta Matsuoka uses iconic motifs from Western art history and contemporary art, such as bananas and apples, to create images that fluctuate human perception and cognition, such as by making objects float in the air or coexist with real objects and fakes. Dramatically composed, vividly colored, somewhat cynical, and playful, Yohta Matsuoka's works evoke a variety of senses in the viewer.
As the exhibition title “Fake Plastic Apples” implies, please come and experience Yohta Matuoka's “trick” still-life paintings up close.
