i8 Gallery is pleased to announce representation of Tokyo-based painter Yui Yaegashi. Yaegashi’s small-scale oil paintings are rooted in precision, with her distinct style of patterning resulting in reductive, layered works. Yaegashi’s compositions are carefully composed, with a focus on graphic lines, veiled strokes of color, and explorations of both symmetry and asymmetry. Yaegashi will have an exhibition of new works at the gallery in fall 2023; her first solo exhibition with i8 was in 2019.

Yui Yaegashi (b. 1985, Chiba, Japan) lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. She received a B.A. from the Tokyo Zokei University’s Department of Painting in 2009 and her M.F.A. from Tokyo Zokei University’s Graduate School of Art and Design in 2011. In Spring 2020, Yaegashi completed a self-directed residency in New York City supported by the Japanese Government’s Department of Art and Culture.
