The wind walks along the sea and the boat urges on … A picture familiar to many from childhood. Therefore, we know that a boat will not sail without the sea. It turns out that it will float, and not one, but several hundred. It proved Jacob Hashimoto, who created an installation of sailboats called "Armada", which can be seen in the "Studio la Citta" showroom in Verona. His invincible armada really invulnerable: she is not afraid of storms or enemies. It is also a dream come true for all sailing ship lovers.
Jacob Hashimoto was born in 1973 in Grillay, Colorado. He graduated from Carlton College in 1993 and from the Art Institute in Chicago in 1996. Today Jacob Hashimoto lives and works in two cities - New York and Verona. Despite his youth, Hashimoto is already famous and recognizable. His work has been exhibited in many galleries in the United States, more often his creations can be seen in the Rhona Hoffman Gallery in Chicago and at the Studio la Citta in Verona.
Most of Jacob Hashimoto's art objects look like intricate tapestries, but he creates them from acrylic, paper, bamboo and nylon. The result is very light and airy compositions. In his works, Hashimoto realizes his long-standing fascination with various forms of intersection of painting and sculpture, abstraction and landscape.
Jacob Hashimoto's latest installation, Armada, has features of kinetic sculpture. However, unlike the kinetic sculptures of Theo Jansen, Hashimoto's creation is not driven by the wind, because it is located in a room and occupies an entire room, like, for example, Eiji Watanabe's winged installation.
This unusual installation was inspired by the Spanish invincible armada, which consisted of 130 heavy ships. But Jacob Hashimoto, in love with everything light and airy, built his tiny boats out of wood and paper. But his miniature invincible armada consists of 750 sailing ships! And thanks to a special mechanism, the ships sail along invisible waves, as if they are flying.
