Honor Fraser is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Tomoo Gokita. In past works Tomoo Gokita has drawn and painted from budget pornography, selectively rendering and partially obscuring – with his signature abstractions – the awkward posture of staged pleasure. While there is nothing awkward or contrived about the paintings, what they do have in common with pornography of any kind is their ability to provoke an intense emotional reaction from the viewer.
Opposite – Misunderstanding 2009, Acrylic on canvas, 76 x 64 inches
Exhibition runs through to December 19th, 2009
