Jacob Hashimoto

Jacob Hashimoto’s dense, rich installations and sculptures make use of spare color and repetitions of simple, iconic shapes. His fragile installations and assemblages of paper are variously constructed as imagistic objects or large, room-filling environments. In his 2010 project for the Marco Rome Contemporary Art Museum, titled Silence Still Governs Our Consciousness, Hashimoto hung thousands of paper discs between the floor and the ceiling, suggesting plumes of smoke filling the white-walled gallery with a diaphanous field. Hashimoto has been shown widely in the United States and Europe, including exhibitions at the Nevada Museum of Art, the San Jose Museum of Art, and the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art.
