About Exhibition
Shoji Miyamoto, one of high-profile artists in recent days, was born
in Osaka prefecture in 1988. In 2010, he graduated Osaka University of
Art with a degree in fine arts. While enrolled in the course, he
received Storage Prize and Audience Award at 34th University Prints
Exhibition in 2009.
He is one of the most promising young artist of his generation.
In his works, familiar motifs like Sushi or Fruits show up. They are
sometimes humorous and sometimes poetically. On the canvas,
familiar-looking Sushi is caught in rain, drifting along the sea and
stands in front of Bento Baran forest. Because Sushi seems to have his
own will or emotions, there is an atmosphere like so-called “sincere
non-sense”.
In this his third time solo exhibition at Gallery Jin, 13 new woodcut
prints is exhibited.
<Artist Comment>
"Recently, I put things which attracted my interest into woodcut
print works while feeling the seasons which gradually change day by
day."
