About the artist: Originally from Colorado, Jacob Hashimoto (b. 1973) studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently based in Ossining, New York. Hashimoto has been the subject of dozens of group and solo exhibitions across the United States and Europe, including exhibiting works in major museums such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Santa Fe site; and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome. Her practice is clearly multidisciplinary, spanning sculpture, painting and installation, with much of her work exhibiting a synthesis of craft and fine art techniques. Thematically, Hashimoto’s work maintains art historical roots – often influenced by the history and trajectory of abstraction and modernism – while asserting a decidedly contemporary bent for the experimental and the exploratory.

What do you want to know: Studio la Citta in Verona, Italy, presents the personal exhibition “Jacob Hashimoto: Noisewhich will be on view from June 24 to September 16, 2023. The exhibition will be the first in a substantial new cycle of works on canvas that simultaneously reflect the artist’s practice leading to the creation of this body of work, as well as points on the direction of Hashimoto’s work going forward. About the exhibition gallery, founder Hélène de Franchis said, “I am particularly excited about this exhibition of paintings on canvas by Jacob Hashimoto. I like the idea that Jacob often chooses my gallery for experiments, I see this exhibition as the start of a new path, and I believe that we will see something very special.

Why we love it: Although Hashimoto has used paint in his practice consistently throughout his career, the new body of work presented at Studio la Città marks the first time the artist has truly focused on the medium. Rather than using paint and canvas-based methods as a tool or prop in a larger project, here the work itself is the site of her artistic explorations. Many visual characteristics of Hashimoto’s style can be seen, such as fundamental compositional types and color fields, establishing this new approach as a continuation rather than a departure from his artistic endeavors. A series of paintings that stand out for their predominantly black and white palette, hung along the longest wall of the gallery, allow the viewer to better understand Hashimoto’s intellectual and artistic pursuit. Functioning as a form of visual language, the artist’s impulses, intuitions and ideas are translated into visual ‘Noise’, from which the exhibition takes its name.
