Perrotin Hong Kong is pleased to present Minority Flags, the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by the Japanese artist Yayoi Deki. Known for her mesmerizingly intricate finger-stamped paintings, Deki continues her exploration of the Flags series, transforming the geometry of various LGBTQ+ pride flags into subtly textured fields of miniature faces. The resulting works present a unique juxtaposition of cheerful aesthetics while gesturing toward deeper, more complex themes.
Deki's work is renowned for its exquisitely detailed paintings, vibrant color palette, and distinctive finger-stamping technique, conveying a sense of utter purity and eternal adolescence. In the meticulously painted "Flags" series, her singular focus manifests in a collection of miniature faces, representing an element of transcendence within the pictorial plane.
