Using sculpture, painting, and installation, Jacob Hashimoto creates complex worlds from a range of modular components: bamboo-and-paper kites, model boats, even astroturf-covered blocks. His accretive, layered compositions reference video games, virtual environments, and cosmology, while also remaining deeply rooted in art-historical traditions notably, landscape-based abstraction, modernism, and handcraft.
Hashimoto has been featured in museum exhibitions at MOCA Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, MACRO - Museum of #contemporaryart in Rome, Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice to name a few. He has also had solo shows at galleries such as Mary Boone Gallery in New York, Rhona Hoffman Gallery in Chicago, Studio la Città in Verona among others.
