In Gallery I at Thinkspace Projects, opening this weekend, the gallery is thrilled to present Yasuhito Kawasaki’s debut North American solo exhibition entitled Hello Bear-Chan!. Deftly working with both paintings and ceramics, Kawasaki is experiencing a meteoric rise with collectors around the world. Using a casting technique he has honed over years of work, he is known for his trademark sculptures of innocent looking children. While the visuals vary, each is a self-portrait, drawing on some element of himself.
