Reflective Configuration
Hiroyuki Arikawa (WORKSHOP™)
CONTRAST is pleased to present a solo exhibition"Reflective Configuration" by artist Hiroyuki Arikawa (WORKSHOP™) from January 21st, Saturday to February 5th Sunday. After graduating from Kuwasawa Design School, Arikawa worked on planning and design for several apparel brands before starting WORKSHOP™(workshop trademark) in 2019, which focuses on object and fixture production and spatial composition. In 2021, he created visuals for TOKYO DESIGN STUDIO New Balance/ Apparel, and he mainly works using industrial materials such as aluminum frames, LED fluorescent lights, and cords. This exhibition features the starting point of "changes in manifested memory," in which the artist himself traces the sensations and memories of the past that he had forgotten, and how he has arbitrarily recorded and accumulated visual and aural information. In addition to solid objects, which is Arikawa's forte, he will present works that incorporate non-visual structures such as sound and rhythmic sequencing as well as themes that reflect fashion. Also, there will be publications specially created for this exhibition published by Rondade for sale. We hope you will enjoy Arikawa's memories constructed from industrial materials.
