To Know Where to Go Back, Keita Morimoto Paints “To Nowhere and Back”
Keita Morimoto paints the night like a contemporary vision of Hopper’s Nighthawks. There is human elements and a slight hint of movement in the late night scenes in a Morimoto universe, and the same quiet intensity of being a voyeur in those vulnerable hours. There is just something on the edge of a ghostly happening, a surreal and cinematic distance between you and the scenes before you that is unsettling and yet safe.

Mark Yang: Cryptic Aperture
VSF announces Mark Yang’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and his second in our Los Angeles Space, Cryptic Aperture. In 2024 Yang began making paintings in pairs, not opposites or twins, but siblings and companions – compositions that emerge from a similar foundation and evolve into unique expressions of the same DNA.
