Kohei Yamada: My Screen Tests

GR gallery is pleased to present My Screen Tests, the first New York City solo exhibition by Kohei Yamada. The exhibition examines the enduring value of the authentic relationship between artist and artwork, engaging in themes of irony, introspection, and visual metaphor, which draw inspiration from contemporary practice and Yamada’s nuanced admiration for American Pop art.

In My Screen Tests, Yamada searches within New York City’s identity as the art capital of the world in order to infuse his work with a distinct vitality, revealing his admiration for Andy Warhol in particular through motifs referencing the Silver Factory era and vibrant pop expressions.

The opening reception will take place on Friday, May 15 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. GR gallery, 116 Chambers Street (btw Church & W. Broadway ) New York, NY 10007
