Akihiro Hasegawa
長谷川彰宏
- ART FAIR - MEET YOUR ARTISTS
Born in Mie Prefecture in 1997, she is a contemporary artist currently based in Tokyo.
Born into a Tendai sect temple family, she was ordained in 2009 and completed the Four Stages of Ascetic Practice at Saikyoji Temple of the Tendai Shinsei sect in 2019. After entering the Department of Design at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2016, she studied at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Department of Design, at the same university from 2020, graduating in 2024.
Hasegawa's works, which offer a panoramic perspective on emotions, thoughts, the body, and the existence of life, reveal his unique stance derived from the Buddhist philosophy that forms the core of his work, prompting questions about life and death and the very existence of humanity. Having been strongly drawn to "light" both visually and ideologically since childhood, Hasegawa incorporates and expresses this formative experience in his art.
Selected as a member of the 5th class of the Kuma Foundation, he exhibited at "KUMA EXHIBITION 2022" and held his first solo exhibition "Yomogi to Comp" (√K Contemporary, Tokyo) in the same year. Since then, he has exhibited at numerous exhibitions, including "Meet Your Art Festival 2023 'Time to Change'", "VOCA Exhibition 2025" (Ueno Royal Museum), the high jewelry brand Chaumet's exhibition "THE ART OF COLOUR" (2025, Tokyo), and the group exhibition "Rebirth and Future" curated by Miwa Kutsuna (2025, ASTER Curator Museum, Kanazawa). In 2024, he held a large-scale solo exhibition "Akihiro Hasegawa Exhibition" at √K Contemporary (Tokyo), and in the same year, he held a solo exhibition "Muryoko" at N&A Art SITE (Tokyo) as the 6th installment of Nanjo Selection. He is attracting a lot of attention as one of the promising young artists and is expanding his field of activity.
