\"Kawaguchi_TheWindow2013-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a week or so, Kiyoshi Kawaguchi<\/a> returns to Viridian Artists with a show of recent work about urban life that lives somewhere on a spectrum that includes both Ben Shahn and Stuart Davis. He’s exhibited at Viridian in 1978 and again in 2010. Like an elbow-to-shoulder subway ride, his images are busy and packed with life, but also quietly sad and solitary. The lonely crowd in Tokyo looks remarkably like the one in Manhattan. The artist\u2019s contiguous faces seem isolated and mute, and yet they fit snugly, perfectly together like fragments of a child\u2019s easy jigsaw puzzle. All those seemingly autonomous figures create a unified, interdependent whole. It\u2019s how art, and life, work. (When they do. ) It\u2019ll be going up next weekend and runs until Sept. 28, when it will head back for a show in Tokyo. I hope I can get time to talk with him while he’s here.<\/p>\n

\u201cKawaguchi captures the exuberance and complex rhythms of city life with simple geometry and vibrant color. Kawaguchi paints bright pictures of a hyperlinked humankind full of possibilities, including being tangled by its own connections.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n

\u2013Deirdre S. Greben, former managing editor ARTnews<\/p>\n

“Kiyoshi Kawaguchi …synthesizes classical American 30<\/i>\u2032s and 40<\/i>\u2032s traditionalism with Japanese modern day technology and craziness of city life… While other artists ignore the world situation and brand their works with Louie Vuitton, Kawaguchi foresees the future and tells it through his cryptic paintings.”<\/i><\/p>\n
