RAINRAIN is pleased to present Exotic Star, a solo exhibition of new works by Kosuke Kawahara. Building upon the artist’s past exploration of themes related to darkness, perception, and the (de)formation of organisms, this assembly of paintings, drawings, and installation showcases the Brooklyn-based artist’s steadfast commitment to questioning modes of categorization, constructed norms, and ecological systems spanning the microscopic to the universal. Taking its name from a class of theoretical astronomical objects, this show deploys the term as a framework for understanding the cluster of works and the constellation of motifs uniting them.
