Historicizing images, aesthetics out of step with current trends and narratives different from those we are used to in our cultural environment. The visual world of Japanese artist Moemi Yamamoto captivates at first sight. Her works open the door to unsettling situations between dream and reality, where exteriors merge with interiors and a wide range of emotions dominate the images. She creates the illusion of life existing in its own bubble and timelessness. It suggests an introspective experience that transcends the interface of ordinary perception.
The artist's premiere solo exhibition in Slovakia at White & Weiss Gallery presents a snippet of her current and constantly evolving painting work. Moemi Yamamoto bridges many historical periods, styles and influences to create a unique, timeless visual language, deeply connected to cultural and artistic heritage. Whether it is the combination of different painterly perspectives inspired by Central European Gothic paintings, Japanese ukiyo-e or dreams, or the surrealist fascination with metamorphosis and (un)consciousness, as well as symbolism or emotive natural landscapes with the melancholic and introspective tones of Romanticism.
