From February 26 to March 20, 2022, Gallery COMMON is pleased to present Serendipity, a solo exhibition by Japanese collage artist Ichi Tashiro.
Born in Ehime, Japan in 1984, Ichi Tashiro first began scrapbooking and collaging as a young child. The hobby initially started as a means for him to escape reality and indulge in his own fantasy world, but by the time he graduated from high school it had become a central part of his identity, and at the age of eighteen he spontaneously moved to New York with nothing but the clothes on his back and a bag of art materials.
Thus began the self-taught artist’s career. Sourcing newspapers and magazines from the trash, Tashiro survived by selling his collage works to tourists on the street, scraping together his hard-earned spare change to buy food each day. Nights were spent sleeping in public parks or, if he was lucky, the couch or floor of a generous friend.
