LINSEED is thrilled to present “Moment of Flowers”, a solo exhibition by Asami SHOJI (b. 1988, Japan), opening on 17 May 2025. The exhibition features the artist’s latest works, spanning painting, sculpture, and video, including her pieces recently shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.

Shoji’s surfaces bear the tactile history of their making. Thin washes of color dissolve into the ground, leaving behind faint stains like afterimages; dense impasto ridges fracture under scrutiny, revealing earlier strokes buried beneath. The effect is one of pentimento, a kind of archaeology of gesture, where each layer whispers of decisions made and then obscured, existing as something perpetually receding. Paralleling with the slippage in the material’s own resistances, the repetitions of motifs hover between intention and accident: Are these shapes the artist's conscious refrain, or traces of an unconscious pattern?
