Supernatural figures conjured from Tomoo Gokita's imagination form the subject of the Tokyo-based artist's solo exhibition Fresh at Blum & Poe's Los Angeles space, running until 26 June.
Greyscale works have formed the basis of Gokita's oeuvre over the last decade, however this new series of paintings sees a renewed exploration into sultry pastel colours portraying dreamlike figures with a similar contortion employed by that of the Surrealists.
