By that point, most of Italy was heading towards a nationwide quarantine, with Gokita's work up on display waiting for better days.
These moments are culturally significant in many ways, because after years of working exclusively in a monochromatic palette, Gokita's Game Over was perhaps his first exhibition to feature all color works.
"I’ll be using color in the near future," Tomoo Gokita told Juxtapoz in our Fall 2019 issue, and a half year later, rhis new territory is beginning to emerge.
Yet, at the same time, after years of developing a coherent body of monochromatic work, he was ready for a journey into a "different world."
Using the impressive multi-room venue to group different types of work, Game Over feels more like the start of a new game, rather than an end of a previous one.
