Presented by Marc Jancou Contemporary
From the 24th of October to the 29th of November 2025, Marc Jancou Contemporary is delighted to present between two opposites, event an exhibition by Tokyo-based artist Yui Yaegashi.
The exhibition brings together a collection of small, abstract paintings, both existing and new works, composed entirely of rectangles and lines, reflecting Yaegashi’s ongoing exploration of the infinite possibilities within minimalist abstraction.
Often characterized by a restrained colour palette, Yaegashi’s paintings are typically executed in cold tones, which create an atmosphere of stillness and introspection. Despite the apparent precision, small irregularities often interrupt the otherwise calculated nature of her work. These subtle disruptions act as an invitation for the viewer to engage with the underlying tension between control and spontaneity, highlighting the nuances of each piece.
Yui Yaegashi (b. 1985, Chiba, Japan) received a B.A. from the Tokyo Zokei University’s Department of Painting (2009) and her M.F.A. from Tokyo Zokei University’s Graduate School of Art and Design (2011). Her work has been included in SCHMALTZ at Guimarães, Vienna, Austria; Particularities curated by Chris Sharp at X Museum, Shanghai, China; and in solo exhibitions at Misako & Rosen, Tokyo, Japan; Shane Campbell Gallery, Chicago, IL; Queer Thoughts, New York, NY; and i8 Gallery, Reykjavik, Iceland. In Spring 2020, Yaegashi completed a self-directed residency in New York City supported by the Japanese Government’s Department of Art and Culture. Yaegashi lives and works in Tokyo.
The exhibition will run at at the gallery of The Porto Arts Club from the 24th of October 2025. Members are invited to a private view on Friday the 24th of October from 6 to 8pm. The exhibition will open to the general public from the 25th of October.
