Kota Ezawa

Immediate Family

"Immediate Family" by Kota Ezawa is a luminous lightbox work that transforms familiar domestic imagery into flattened, graphic compositions rendered with the artist's signature style of simplified, cartoon-like clarity. Ezawa's meticulous reduction of photographic source material into bold, clean forms invites viewers to reconsider the nature of memory, media, and personal narrative. This work, numbered 4/5, exemplifies his ongoing exploration of how images are mediated, reproduced, and emotionally reinterpreted through the lens of popular culture and private life.

Medium
Signed in ink, printed title, date and number 4/5 on a gallery label affixed to the reverse of the lightbox.
