As an art student, he began his artistic journey first as a collector of minerals and fossils. Shinji Turner-Yamamoto feels time both acutely and on a grand scale. The Buddhist perspective on time is that it is not real, rather it is relative to each realm of existence that each consciousness in one’s mind can perceive. Some engage actively with it some engage passively with it. Others might view that time and space are interwoven and cannot be separated. Some believe that time is constantly moving, and separate from space. While there are many ideas regarding time, how people experience time is relative, and dependent on a multitude of factors and beliefs. Here, Turner-Yamamoto’s latest works reflect the artist’s enduring interest in nature and landscape as a source of artistic inspiration, as well as a personal meditation on the passage of time and the inner landscapes of the mind. Taken together, the works showcase multiple perspectives on nature, time, painting, and world building, that effectively captures a sense of nature’s infinitude. Seen separately, each piece is a view into the universe. At the core of this exhibition is his Strata and Pentimenti series, in addition to a selection of new photographs and canvases. The exhibition’s title “Microcosm and Macrocosm” refers to a vision of the cosmos where the part (microcosm) is a reflection of the whole (macrocosm). Turner-Yamamoto is known for creating paintings, sculptures, and installations that employ elemental materials such as trees, fossils, and minerals that forge profound and intimate connections with nature. Sapar Contemporary is pleased to present the first New York solo exhibition of Japanese American artist Shinji Turner-Yamamoto. ![]()
