JACOB HASHIMOTO | 30 OCTOBER - 20 DECEMBER 2025

"All of his works . . . are arrays of components, each of which does one thing and one thing only: the ink delivering color and shape; the Dacron preventing those colors and shapes from fading or bleeding; the paper, cut in circles, functioning as idiosyncratic sketchbook pages; the string securing each piece of paper to its own bamboo frame, and also suspending that frame from other frames, all strung between two rows of stout wood dowels, one at the top and one at the bottom of Hashimoto’s labor-intensive array of insistently analog parts. Nothing is hidden. Everything is visible. And each carefully arranged constellation of components has been designed—and assembled—to drive your eye around the abstract composition."

- David Pagel in "Bicycling Around Jacob Hashimoto’s Art"
