Koji Enokura at Blum & Poe

I’ve previously posted about Koji Enokura’s work but his current, exemplary show at Blum & Poe in Los Angeles deserves a special mention. The exhibition is on view until July 13. From the gallery:

This exhibition features photographic documentation of his early installations, as well as cotton-fabric works from the 1980s and 1990s in which Enokura continued to explore the act of staining. The artist variously contrasts smooth fields of black paint with unpainted fabric, drenches the entire surface, or uses oil-soaked beams of lumber to mark the fabric—either affixing the beams to the work or leaning them against it. Also included in the exhibition are some of the artist’s signature fabrics hung diagonally on the wall and folding out onto the floor, as well as Intervention No.13 (1988), a particularly rare canvas that bears a paint-splattered glass bottle filled with oil and sand.
