Please join us on Saturday, October 5 from 4-6 pm for a reception to celebrate the opening of Riff, the first solo exhibition of paintings by Kenji Nakayama to be shown in the United States in five years.


A sign painter by training, Nakayama's trade work is necessarily instructional and hand-rendered in fonts he invents to suit client needs. The work in Riff began as a way for Nakayama to escape the all-consuming nature of his profession and utilize his considerable talent within an abstract, expressive context. Removed from the demands of clients and branding, this body of work is improvisational and intuitive while retaining a formal, graphic edge. As a meditative experiment, creating these paintings allowed the artist to challenge and examine his own artistic process, and to come to a deeper understanding of himself.
