Hiromart Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Golden Altitudes, an exhibition of paintings by Berlin-based Canadian Artist Robin Fry. This is Fry’s first show with Hiromart Gallery and his debut show in Japan.

Berlin-based Canadian artist, Robin Fry is a painter and performing artist. Most recently, his solo performance with electronics, synthesizer, tape machine and guitar, the project titled the Worm Science was held in various galleries and venues throughout Berlin. Fry’s debut show in Japan titled “Golden Altitudes” contains his latest paintings and drawings. His sound work especially made for the show with a concept of a fictional vacation planet with a Jamaican theme will be played as an Audio installation through the show.

"I like to play with contradictions with the aim of creating complimentary dissonances within aesthetic systems. Possible intersections of graphic art and “pure” abstract art, abject impressionism and traditional decoration, depictions of Jurassic flora and futurist architectonics etc. all must be resolved within a certain zone. In most cases direct external references are not used and images are developed autonomously and intuitively. These may be visions of a hazy tropical scene where it is perhaps unclear if the setting is densely serene or quietly menacing. Such dramatic uncertainties are preferred over a crystalline clarity or an excessive ambiguity."
