Yambe Tam and Yuichiro
Kikuma have been working alongside
each other for their
six-month residency at the Muse. Despite not
always using the studio at the same time, a
certain symbiosis
between their
resulting works is evident.
Yuichiro
has developed a series of work that tests the limits of
painting as a medium.
He likens his process to weaving as he
applies a
semi-automatic method to painting. The resulting patterns
combine systematic and
repetitive actions to a unique whole defined
by the marks' unique irregularities
Yambe's
practice is not limited to a particular discipline or medium
The paintings and
objects she created during her time at the Muse
form part of an
ongoing project that combines ancient materials with
contemporary
processes, with the ultimate aim of recreating an
experience of
transcendence.
With the
Barbican Arts Trust and Tate Modern already on their
respective CVs, Yambe
Tam and Yuichiro Kikuma are rapidly emerging
onto the London and
international art scenes.
celebrating the
borough's rich heritage from 28 to 30 June.
