Amuse-bouche (noun) - a small, bite sized hors d’oeuvre designed to excite the palate.

Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present amuse-bouche, a group exhibition focused on the small scale.

Featuring over 80 works from 28 artists, the exhibition pays homage to the unpretentious simplicity of scale, with all of the artworks measuring under 12 inches. Taking various styles and approaches, these works foster an immediate sense of intimacy, intrinsically drawing the viewer in closer.

Abigail Goldman’s Trad wife wall sculpture depicts what happens when a spouse is pushed to their limits in her signature miniature 1:87 scale. Megan Ellen MacDonald’s Deflated captures the aftermath of a party, with a deflated balloon front and center, partially finished cocktail and bottle of spilled aspirin in the background.

Pat Perry’s Hill study illustrates a quiet snowy landscape, with a small hopeful rainbow visible off to the horizon. Sara Suppan’s New Shirt shows a crisp white shirt with an unfortunate pen stain at the pocket, a humorous reminder that life isn’t perfect, no matter how much we may want it to be.
