Yutaka Hashimoto grapples with the elusive notion of nothingness.

Devoid of distinguishing features, Study_for_Null_Portrait of someone #166 has no particular subject. It is an impression of someone, somewhere else. In its ambiguity, the artwork allows us to forget inescapable biases like nationality, gender and age.

Hashimoto questions his own biases and tackles them head on with repetition and selective abstraction. Repeated white lines represent the subtle human rhythms of being alive, such as breath and heartbeat. These stylistic highlights are accentuated in the print with high gloss varnish.

“I do not have the power to solve the diverse challenges we face every day. However, I aspire to create expressions that may serve as small triggers for you and me to engage in introspection.”

Yutaka Hashimoto 1 collaborationDoes repetition produce bias? That question is central to Yutaka Hashimoto’s art. His practice centres around the concept of “Null”, channeled through “character which looks familiar but it has actually never existed.” It is intentionally ambiguous, leaving space for the viewer to bring their own interpretation “derived from various factors and backgrounds such as race, religion, culture etc.”. At the same time, Hashimoto is also questioning his own biases and seeking to eliminate them through repetition.
