Caro further explains – “Having worked remotely in Asia for many years, this is an exhibition that I have wanted to curate since I joined Corey Helford in 2016. Hikari Shimoda was the first artist I presented to the gallery, which has since gone on to feature several exceptional talents I’ve come across on my trips. When I invited the artists to exhibit in ‘East/West’, I left the theme loose as I wanted to pull from what naturally inspires them and see how they interpret the idea of ‘culture’. What we got is romantic, fun, wacky, eccentric; a unique celebration of Asian culture and beauty from various perspectives. It’s the perfect compliment to our new exhibition by Hikari and Australian artist Pip & Pop’s colorful ‘kawaii’ installation with its elements from all corners of the globe.”
