OCTAGONAL PERMUTATIONS - RALPH IWAMOTO

@HOLLIS TAGGART 05 JUNE-18 JULY, 2025 Hollis Taggart is pleased to present the gallery’s second solo show of work by the Japanese American artist Ralph Iwamoto since taking on representation of his estate in 2023. Ralph Iwamoto: Octagonal Permutations will explore the artist’s geometric works from the early 1970s to the early 1990s, focusing specifically on Iwamoto’s meticulous study of the octagon, a form which preoccupied him for nearly a quarter of a century. Repetitively reworking the same shape for over two decades, the exhibition showcases Iwamoto’s remarkable ability to find seemingly endless possibilities within a singular form, demonstrating a boundless creativity spurred by geometric constraint. Ralph Iwamoto: Octagonal Permutations follows the exhibition Wild Growth: Ralph Iwamoto, Surrealist Works from 1955 at Hollis Taggart in March 2023, which focused on a very different body of work from the very beginning of Iwamoto’s oeuvre, when he explored the flora and fauna of his native Hawaii. Ralph Iwamoto: Octagonal Permutations will be on view from June 5 through July 18, 2025, with an opening reception on Thursday, June 5, from 6-8PM.

The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition is proud to partner with Materials for the Arts, who have provided access to free materials for non-profits like us as well as public schools and city agencies since 1979.
