Bambinart Gallery is pleased to present “BRIEF,MOMENT,INNOCENCE&VAGUENESS” by Yuri Hasegawa from July 4, 2012 to July 22, 2012.
Yuri Hasegawa (b. 1978 Mie, Japan), having been strongly influenced by street culture such as low-budget movies, graffiti, skateboarding, and music videos, graduated from Tokyo Art University in 2002 to move on to stay in Los Angeles for a year and a half beginning 2004. There, she created works influenced by her experiences in L.A. using street culture as her basis.

[You look up at the sky and see clouds changing by the second. Their shapes change so quickly, you will never see them take the same shape again. 

We too, change every day.
All clouds look alike as they drift in different skies above different worlds. I want to secretly capture snapshots of ever changing moments before they are forgotten.

And through them we have to remember that nothing stays the same. As we all live towards death, all matter moves towards eventual destruction. But is this something to grieve over? Between birth and death exists many stories and I believe these stories, whatever they may be about, are all worth a read.

But how many of us realize this? What we need is to keep this in mind and wake up. That’s all that is necessary for each moment to turn into something priceless.] --Yuri Hasegawa

 This exhibition includes Hasegawa’s most recent paintings as well as video.
