Bortolami is pleased to present Of Two, Naotaka Hiro’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Hiro continues his dialectical approach to mark-making, working across canvas, wood, and bronze. “Whether drawing or painting,”Hiro says, “my practice unfolds in two steps: the first is subjective, intuitive, and organic; the second is objective and analytical. These steps repeat, with two personas—instinctive and reflective—continually agreeing and conflicting throughout the work.”
Open Tuesday–Saturday, 10 AM–6 PM & by appointment.
