After the Rain explores the dynamic relationship between space, play and decision-making in emphasising how spatial elements influence our actions and outcomes. For the realisation of this project, the artist responded to the architecture of the gallery space and in particular, its subterranean swimming pool manifesting in larger-than-life structures and sculpted mounds of playground sand set against a five metre topographical painting.

About the artist
 

Nakayama’s works are a dialogue between objects in space as she explores the movement of stillness and its playful act. Using superimposed perspectives, her paintings explore the stillness of an object, its volume, and its environment. Each character has its own rhythm, claiming their relationships to one another. The objects are the pivoting points in which the shadows explore the crevices of its surroundings. They absorb and reflect like sound travelling between and within. Inviting the eyes to fluidly change in scale as one moves through and beyond.

 

In 2008, Nakayama decided to move to New York to pursue her passion for the arts. She is a graduate from Parsons the New School for Design and The Cooper Union, where she studied architecture.
