Pace is pleased to announce its representation of Kenjiro Okazaki. A celebrated artist, critic, and theorist, Okazaki’s work spans painting, sculpture, performance, architecture, landscape design, robotics, and other media, investigating time, space, and perception through a language of abstraction. He uses these seemingly disparate modes of making collectively to explore the ways that time and space can be reshaped and reconstructed through our unique cognitive experiences of the world. Okazaki’s first solo exhibition with Pace—which featured new paintings and sculptures—was presented in Seoul this summer, and two new paintings by the artist will figure prominently on the gallery’s booth at Frieze Seoul in September.

Samanthe Rubell, President of Pace Gallery, says:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Kenjiro Okazaki to Pace. Through our growing activity in Japan—and Kenjiro’s recent projects with our colleagues and friends at Blum—we’ve come to further understand and appreciate the significance and impact of his work in the history of art. We look forward to sharing his wide-ranging work with our audiences around the world.”

Youngjoo Lee, Senior Vice President of Pace Gallery in Seoul, says:

“In his practice across mediums and disciplines, Kenjiro Okazaki brings to light new conceptual and intellectual dimensions of abstraction. His recent exhibition at our Seoul gallery—his first-ever solo presentation in Korea—showcased both the vastness and the depth of his work, highlighting the ways he uses art to examine universal questions of perception and experience.”
