For this year’s DC Open, SETAREH is pleased to present Maki Na Kamura’s most recent works in the exhibition ISOTON.

ISOTON (engl. isotone), a term more commonly used in mathematics, biology or physics, is also the title for the artist’s new series of works and describes, in short, a constant tension (in Greek ἴσος ísos means “same” and τόνος tónos “stretch”). Just like the nuclear atomic “isotone” that has the same number of neutrons as another, but a differing number of protons, Na Kamura’s paintings possess art historical motifs and structures that become isolated and interwoven anew.
