Small Works
4th December - 19th December 2019
Private view and opening reception: 4th December 2019, 6-9pm

Yamamoto Keiko Rochaix is pleased to announce a group show 'SmallWorks', showcasing the creations by the gallery artists and those whose
work we have exhibited.
Despite its size, small scale works could be powerful in eﬀect, revelatoryof the artists' central concerns, or precursor for their future practice.
Small size itself contributes to the relatable and intimate feel, and together
with the playfulness that comes from the artists' willingness to experimentor take risks, small works often enjoy special connection with the viewers;
something of an 'attachement' on a human scale.
Alessandro Roma is known for his unique world of inexplicable melange ofcolours and shapes, a sort of an abstract take of the natural world with
enigmatic, but unmistakingly organic feel. His small scale paintings andbas-relief may add to the sense of proximity, enhancing the connection
the viewers feel towards them.
Byzantia Harlow's small bronze as well as mixed media sculptures
fascinate with their 'magical' air characteristic of the young artists' oeuvre.
The blue of the bio-resin reminds the ocean or the outer space, that isinﬁnite and absorbing. Even at small scale, Harlow's potent works neverfail to infer the larger world beyond, to which they undoubtedly belong to.
Delaine Le Bas's small painting on wooden board describe a fainted bride
being held and taken away by a winged devil. Use of the primitive colours
and the naive ﬁgures may catch eyes at ﬁrst, but it is its mysterious
quality that may draws in the viewers. Can it be read as a narrative of herown biography as is often the case with Le Bas's work? Or is it only
telling a generic fairly tale or a fable?

universe, absorbing and hypnotic, far removed from our immediateenvironment. It is, however, created by an ingenious process of interfeeding of analogue and digital images. What are we looking at then? Is ita haphazardly altered reality? But what is the reality?
Radouan Zeghidour's very small marble sculpture can be held in one hand,and small inscriptions of words and images can be examined very closely,as if an archeologist inspecting a newly found artefact freshly uncoveredfrom the ground.
Ryohei Kan's small blue-print work visualises the concept of the endlessspace, the concept on which his video works are based on. A photo fromthe White Cube series shows a corner of an almost blank, non-eventful
space which is artiﬁcially created, but which feels strangely familiar.
