Houldsworth is delighted to present a solo exhibition of new paintings and collages by young Japanese painter Kounosuke Kawakami. This is his first solo exhibition in London following his highly acclaimed debut in Chaotic Order with Hiraki Sawa, Laura Ford and Robert Platt at Houldsworth in October 2006.
Running concurrently at APT Gallery, Deptford, KawakamI's works have been selected by Matthew Collings and Emma Biggs as part of Creekside Open Exhibition Part One up to 15 May; and by Victoria Miro as part of Creekside Open Part Two from 17 May. He was also shortlisted for the Celeste Art Prize 2007. In July, Kawakami will be part of Tech-Mac-Mayacom at the Frank Lloyd Wright Building, Myounichikan, near Ikebukuro, Tokyo; an interview with Kawakami and Conrad Ventur appears in this month's Useless Magazine, and Kawakami is also featured in the May issue of Dazed & Confused, Japan. He lives and works in London.
