Pia Riverola

A first-ever collaboration between artists Pia Riverola and John Reagan, exploring the medium of photography with interventions of acrylic paint. All artworks are unique and signed by both Pia and John.

While color is a major focus in Riverola’s work, black and white is a medium that translates well to both the ancient and futuristic dichotomy of Japan. Especially for Yūgen, Pia created a series of black and white photographs that were brought to life through the addition of colour by collaborating painter John Reagan. Subtle rhythms in shapes both hide and amplify elements of a scene, inviting viewers to delve deep and reflect their own imagination onto the work.

    ‘Learning to see is my ever inspiring task as a photographer. No words can do justice to the beauty that is in the meticulous ways of the Japanese harmonizing ancient traditions and modern life.’ Pia Riverola

    Yūgen is a collection of photographs and painted photographs by Pia Riverola from Japan that were taken between 2019 and 2024.  The title refers to the ancient concept embedded in Japanese culture that resonates with the allure and profundity beyond the apparent.  An aesthetic ideal rooted in Buddhist teachings that invites to uncover a more subtle, genuine beauty through deep connection. A beauty that is only partially perceived –  fully felt, but barely glimpsed by the viewer.

    This idea of Yūgen perfectly describes Pia Riverola’s experiences in Japan where she found herself amidst a place of wonder, a culture of intrigue and a population most unique. Through her ongoing body of work, Riverola dives deep into the mysterious, complex, at times contradictory and multi-layered narratives that can be found in the rushing streets of Tokyo, the vibrant colours of Kyoto traditional dress and the glimmering reflections in the rivers of Osaka. Yūgen captures the fleeting, in-between moments of it all.
