Teppei Kaneuji (ou: imagem 'quebradiça')

: Splash and Flake

For his new exhibition at Kodama Gallery, Teppei Kaneuji uses driftwood, found objects, and coffee to create alien cosmologies that explore the dynamic properties of liquids and materials. The show's title piece, Splash and Flake, sits like an overgrown nest on a sturdy wooden table, while dozens of tiny mirrors, magnifying glasses, and even binoculars planted within the assemblage exert a visual pull, sucking viewers into the artist's universe. Sea and Pus (Driftwood 3) is a beachcomber's ball of found toys, including the odd Frisbee, and Muddy Stream from a Mug #1 employs signature coffee-stain details. The talented Kaneuji also presents figurines, collages, and drawings that add to the show's funhouse effect.
