Kiyoshi Nakagami at Ameringer, McEnery, Yohe

Kiyoshi Nakagami’s otherworldly abstractions, dramatically contrasting light and dark and rendered in pigment and gold dust, suggest a moment of cosmic creation or the beginning of an alien encounter. Scale and subject matter are hard to discern but the impact of Nakagami’s meticulously laid gold lines is profound. (On view at Ameringer McEnery Yohe gallery in Chelsea at the gallery’s temporary location on 19th Street).
