Yoshiaki Mochizuki: Prototype

September 8 - September 30, 2023

Broadway is pleased to present Prototype, a solo exhibition of new work by New York-based artist Yoshiaki Mochizuki.  

Expanding on his signature works on plywood panels, Mochizuki has evolved his practice by incorporating a sculptural dimension via hand-carved slabs of black walnut. The wood is treated variously with layers of varnish, gesso and precious metal leafing, providing a dynamic combination of matte and reflective finishes. Where his earlier works were engraved with complex geometric patterning and referenced the screen-space and the mutability of film and video, the new pieces tend toward the monochromatic and topographical—effectively trading restless optical effect for physicality and stately sculptural stasis.
