Kota Ezawa, The Concert, LED lightbox, 28 x 25 inches, 2015.
Kota Ezawa at Murray Guy Gallery
Kota Ezawa’s signature simplified, graphic images are well suited to his current body of work – lightboxes that replicate thirteen artworks stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990. Contrary to the carefully executed detail in the original painting depicted here by Johannes Vermeer, Ezawa’s more generalized rendering suggests the omissions of memory. (At Chelsea’s Murray Guy Gallery through Dec 19th).
