Blum & Poe are showing captivating paintings by Asuka Anastacia Ogawa at their Los Angeles space.
Marking a year since being taken on by the gallery, these works showcase Ogawa’s use of flat planes of colour and muted tones that seem to enhance her figures’ piercing eyes, unnervingly gazing out towards us.
In Ocula Magazine Associate Editor Tessa Moldan delved further into Ogawa’s dream-like settings, remarking that Ogawa’s paintings are ‘rooted in a sense of wonderment and the unknown.’
