Hashimoto Contemporary, San Francisco presents a solo exhibition by Alex Ziv titled “Cut Away(s)” from July 8 through July 29, 2017.The exhibition will showcase a new series of works on geometrically cut paper by Alex Ziv, who is known for his minimal compositions that are masterly executed, resulting in engaging the viewer in their technical achievement and intricate visual balance. Moving outside of traditional rectangular dimensions, each piece is specifically formatted to mirror its graphic components. Dark lines simultaneously link and fragment the varying figures, leading the eye through a web of colorful insignias. Ziv’s work centers around personal iconography, and the connection of symbols to memories. Emblems of motorcycle culture, traditional flash tattoo, and vintage typography present an intimate portrait of the artist. The title “Cut Away(s)” references the unique shape of each piece and also alludes to the inherent escapism of the American landscape.Alex Ziv is a San Francisco based artist. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2014. His work has been exhibited nationally, including the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.The exhibition will be on view at Hashimoto Contemporary, San Francisco, 804 Sutter Street, San Francisco, CA 94109, USA.For details, visit: http://www.hashimotocontemporary.comClick on the Slideshow for a sneak peek at the artworks.
