Asphalt Meadows

EVERANDART will present a solo exhibition titled “Asphalt Meadows” by artist Schoko Tanaka, in collaboration with THE LOOP GALLERY. Asphalt Meadows explores the persistence of animal and vegetal memory within urban space. Through embroidery, painting, and textile, fragmented ecologies emerge. Horses without fields— their bodies dominating the composition—emphasize presence and form, while snakes appear more subtly, embedded within surfaces or partially obscured. This difference reflects how nature is encountered in the city. Not absent, but unevenly visible, sometimes direct and sometimes hidden. Here, the meadow is not a pastoral image, but a condition: something that survives beneath, within, and against the built environment. The textile works becomes a form of soft resistance to the hardness of urban material, introducing a tactile counterpoint to its rigidity.
