i8 Gallery is pleased to announce a solo presentation of new paintings by Yui Yaegashi at Independent. The fair will be on view from May 8 -11 at Spring Studios, 50 Varick Street, in New York.
Yui Yaegashi’s oil paintings are rooted in detail, with her distinct style of patterning resulting in reductive, layered works. Yaegashi’s compositions are carefully composed, with a focus on graphic lines, veiled strokes of paint, surface textures, and explorations of both symmetry and asymmetry.
The artist has a systematic approach to painting, working in her signature small format and often limiting colour palettes. While precise, the paintings intentionally include elements of imperfection, which interrupt the restraint inherent to the artist's approach and highlight the nuances of her compositions.
Yaegashi maintains a rigorous daily dedication to painting, allowing for a continuity that spans her practice. She paints multiple works over the same period, fluidly working between paintings. The artist often approaches her installations site-specifically and considers her paintings in reaction to the space in which they are presented.
