Show

On Saturday, July 7th, Asahi Art Museum of Nagano, Japan is proud to premiere their first exhibition with Japanese-artist Hikari Shimoda featuring a major mid-career survey of her work.

It was in 2008 when Shimoda set on the path to becoming a professional artist, and now ten years later, she is amongst the most widely recognized names of New Contemporary painters rising out of Japan. Entitled “The Catastrophe of Death and Regeneration,” the exhibition will take viewers on a journey through Shimoda’s narrative and artistic development spanning one decade of her work, including her most ambitious painting to date, a massive ten-foot mural.
