Analog Death, etc.: Jacob Hashimoto\u2019s Cartography of Wonder, Memory, and Disappearing Magic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ronchini is excited to present Analog Death, etc.<\/strong>, our third solo exhibition featuring new works by the New York-based artist, Jacob Hashimoto<\/a><\/strong> (b. 1973, Greeley, Colorado).<\/p>\n

Developed across a body of work spanning the past three years, these works see Hashimoto respond to current events in an abstracted, nuanced manner\u2014physically manifested by his iconic, delicately layered, and elegant kite-based constructions.<\/p>\n

In this series, while the compositions on the kites remain intricately layered and meticulously assembled by hand, the introduction of a laser cutter into the studio has allowed the artist to revisit ideas gathered over the years. This new precision-cutting process enables the realization of compositions that were previously too intricate to be cut by hand.<\/p>\n

As Hashimoto\u2019s practice continues to evolve\u2014bridging the gap between the tactile and the technological\u2014the compositions chart both a poetic and chaotic cartography of memory and meaning. The works simultaneously embody a portrait of the artist\u2019s mind and a reflection of broader existential concerns. Hashimoto masterfully turns a single moment into a gesture.<\/p>\n

Analog Death, etc. draws inspiration from disparate sources such as satellite arrays, the scorched earth of the Californian wildfires, and decaying infrastructure glimpsed on a tarmac in D\u00fcsseldorf. These fragments form visual records of moments which the artist translates into intricate structures: kaleidoscopic blooms and pixelated patterns that transcend their origin to create exquisite, stylised compositions.<\/p>\n

Full of layers\u2014both conceptually and physically\u2014these works operate within what Hashimoto describes as \u201can open system,\u201d in which \u201cthings may read differently depending on what people bring to them.\u201d His open visual language allows for an accessible and democratic reading of the work, as the kites themselves\u2014his primary medium\u2014belong to no one and to everyone.<\/p>\n

Echoing a childlike universality that taps into the collective imagination, the kites go beyond the specificity of medium or message, enabling the artist to explore the erosion of childlike wonder in contemporary society. In a world increasingly fixated with resolution, certainty, and fact-checking, Hashimoto reflects on the loss of the sublime by striving to rekindle that sense of wonder and ambiguity in his work.<\/p>\n

Analog Death, etc. is a celebration of a constellation of moments that revives the feeling of what it means not to know<\/strong>\u2014a celebration of the innocent and pure magic of belief, in the hopes that in this space, perhaps, the sublime survives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This exhibition also marks the end of Ronchini\u2019s time at 22 Dering Street<\/strong>, closing a remarkable chapter after 13 years. We are honoured to share this moment with Jacob Hashimoto\u2014an artist who helped define our inaugural year at this space\u2014and look forward to welcoming everyone to our new Mayfair<\/strong> location this autumn.<\/p>\n

Jacob Hashimoto: Analog Death, etc. opens on the 23rd of May, 2025 until the 27th of June, 2025 at Ronchini Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n
