Minami Kobayashi (b.1989) is a Japanese artist based in London. Covering a significant period of development in her practice as a painter, this publication coincides with her second major solo exhibition, The Song of Jujubes, at Frestonian Gallery, London. Kobayashi’s paintings depict familiar yet surreal scenes, created from an amalgamation of memories, places and ordinary people. In her dreamlike ambiguous narratives, nature, animals and humans are given equal status; her realms are symbiotic societies with multiple creatures. She captures transitory and fluctuating moments, depicting her protagonists in states of flux, vulnerability and openness. Rendered in a postImpressionist palette, her compositions are a potent mix of playfulness and deeper themes of human and natural life. Bringing together eleven new canvases, The Song of Jujubes takes its title from a song that the artist used to sing as a teenager in her hometown of Nagoya, Japan. It begins with a girl eating one jujube fruit every night, wondering what she will do when they are all gone. Imbued with a sense of nostalgia and loss, the works consider what ‘home’ means and the strong relationship between people and place. This publication documents Kobayashi’s paintings chronologically, from her early works of 2016 to 2024. In a foreword, the Directors of Frestonian Gallery, Matt Incledon and Rollo Campbell introduce the inner world of the artist and the themes of The Song of Jujubes. In an interview with Lisa Wainwright, Kobayashi discusses her time studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, her unique painting technique and the symbolism in her scenes. She also expands upon her artistic influences, including Ukiyoe woodblock prints, the tenets of Buddhism, Tarot and the Nabi painters, such as Félix Vallotton, Édouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard. In her essay ‘Temperature of a Memory’, Laura Allsop analyses Kobayashi’s recent paintings in relation to memory and place, particularly the artist’s hometown of Nagoya. Edited by Incledon and designed by Joe Gilmore, the book is copublished by Frestonian Gallery and Anomie Publishing, London.Minami Kobayashi (b.1989, Nagoya, Japan) lives and works in London. She holds an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago (2018) and a BA in Painting from Tokyo University of the Arts (2016). Kobayashi makes figurative paintings that combine intimacy and mystery through their depictions of ordinary people, animals and places that seem vaguely surreal and ever so slightly offkilter.Recent solo or duo exhibitions include I Spell a Word to Free You (with Adrianne Rubinstein) at Et Al Gallery, San Francisco (2024), Place and Presence (with Patrick Procktor) at Frestonian Gallery (2023) and Somewhere not here at Goldfinch Gallery, Chicago (2022).

Anomie Publishing is delighted to partner with Frestonian Gallery to present SUMMER – an exhibition and publication surveying the work of twenty-four artists who rank among the most exciting and influential contemporary painters in Britain today.The exhibition SUMMER is both a nod to the tradition of collective summer shows in London’s contemporary art scene – dating as far back as the formation of the Royal Academy’s summer salons – and a broad theme around which the participating artists were invited to make or contribute works. The resulting collection of paintings and works on paper is delightfully eclectic and idiosyncratic, from the quintessential English country garden depicted by Tim Braden to the holiday park ice cream shop presented by Caroline Walker, the lush tropical vegetation of Mauritius represented by Cara Nahaul to the abandoned island hotel discovered by Nick Goss while holidaying in Italy. From apocalyptic garden parties to unsporting tennis matches, Cornish coastal walks at dusk and gods hatching plans to woo goddesses in orchards, this is certainly a summer painting survey not to be missed. It is with a spirit of celebration and a desire to showcase excellence in contemporary painting across a broad spectrum of generations, backgrounds and styles that Frestonian Gallery and Anomie Publishing present SUMMER. The publication features a foreword by Rollo Campbell and Matt Incledon, Directors of Frestonian Gallery, and an essay by Matt Price, Publisher at Anomie.The featured artists are: Tim Braden / Hannah Brown / Lindsey Bull / Gareth Cadwallader / Jai Chuhan / Daniel Crews-Chubb / Kaye Donachie / Freya Douglas-Morris / Anna Freeman Bentley / Nick Goss / Sunyoung Hwang / Minami Kobayashi / Matthew Krishanu / Des Lawrence / Jessie Makinson / Kathryn Maple / Barry McGlashan / Justin Mortimer / Ryan Mosley / Cara Nahaul / David Price / Gideon Rubin / Caroline Walker / Jonathan Wateridge
