Jacob Hashimoto presents a new solo exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery in New York, featuring his signature constructions of screen-printed paper discs assembled into layered, three-dimensional compositions that blur the line between painting and sculpture. The show, his third with the gallery, includes works such as "The Promise of Other Inventions (that worked better)" (2025) and "No, No My Friends, We Will Not" (2025), and is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication with an essay by art critic and professor David Pagel.
This exhibition matters because Hashimoto's modular, disc-based approach challenges traditional boundaries between medium and perception, offering a unique visual language that oscillates between order and chaos. By expanding the possibilities of sculpture and painting simultaneously, his work contributes to ongoing conversations about materiality, perception, and the limits of artistic form, reinforcing his position as a distinctive voice in contemporary art.
