Izima Kaoru


Von Lintel Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Japanese photographer Izima Kaoru. These photographs extend the fantasy theme Kaoru explored in his prior series, "Landscapes with a Corpse." Here, in his newest work, the artist has pushed his intense color even further to include full-blown psychedelic scenarios as well as scenes of stark drama with the graphic punch of white on black. His cinematic compositions and dreamlike mystery are as strong as ever.

Kaoru continues his practice of orchestrating fashion models' imagined deaths for the camera, recording each scene from various vantage points and distances. Some shots, panoramic and taken from oblique angles, emphasize the lonely and anonymous aspect of death. Others, nearly filled by models' faces, zero in on the purely personal, making the "victims" appear more naked and vulnerable fully clothed than they might be nude. All the pictures deliver a poignant and concentrated dose of Izima's signature sensation: tragedy overwhelmed by beauty.

Izima Kaoruhas exhibited widely in the United States and Europe, and is represented in numerous public and private collections internationally. This is his fourth solo exhibition with Von Lintel Gallery.
