Jacob Hashimoto
Another Cautionary Tale Comes to Mind (but immediately vanishes)
All These Burnt Out Comets, Unwound Ciphers, and the Dark Span of Madness
Not So Much Discoveries as Memories
Born in Colorado in 1973, Jacob Hashimoto is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is best known for his “tapestries” created from traditional Japanese elements. These works, each most often composed of hundreds of bamboo and paper kite-like elements, reflect his enduring interest in overlapping elements of painting and sculpture, as well as abstractions, landscapes, and figurative works. While deeply rooted in art-historical traditions, these tapestries incorporate references running the gambit from video games to cosmology to virtual reality.
Hashimoto’s works may be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Capitol One Collection, Foundation Carmignac, and the Microsoft Art Collection, among others. The artist lives and works in New York.
