GR gallery is pleased to announce Menagerie, the second solo exhibition of Mayuka Yamamoto with the gallery. The show will feature a total of 15 artworks, revealing a new body of work of unprecedented purity. Among this a special recognition is merited by White Dog Boy, a 5 feet tall hand painted sculpture that challenged the artist with the new media and opens countless possibilities for the future, and ‘Forest’, the largest and most ambitious painting of the exhibition, presenting a complementary character of the three dimensional piece, rooted in an enchanting emotional landscape. The title not only alludes to the lavishly playful yet eerie and melancholic ambience of the cabinet of oddities and exotic animals of the eighteenth century, but also to the idea of the contiguity of divergence and the acceptance of diversity that Yamamoto adorable and introspective characters inspire.
