Kumagai’s photorealistic paintings, presented with the support of Gallery Koyanagi, depict the existence of personhood riddled with contradictions and has been highly praised by audiences and critics alike. Los Angeles based Ruby Neri creates ceramic vessels of distorted female forms that embody the various faces of womanhood, ranging from pleasure to terror and everything within the spectrum of human experience. The exhibition will put on display for the first time a ceramic work from 2016 along with a work on paper.
