水谷昌人

Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1990. Graduated from the Kyoto City University of Arts Graduate School of Fine Arts, Department of Oil Painting in 2016. He creates paintings using a distinctive methodology of squeezing paint from the back of the panel. The method, which he says brings life to dead images, allows the material and image of the painting to emerge at the same time. Recent major exhibitions include "Gree Glue Glow" (FINCH ARTS, Kyoto, 2023), solo exhibition "Mania of Death and Rebirth" (FINCH ARTS, Kyoto, 2021), "ART NAKANOSHIMA 2019" (DOJIMA RIVER FORUM, Osaka), and "Kyoto City University of Arts Transmit Program" (Kyoto City University of Arts Gallery @KCUA, 2017). Major awards include the "aatm Art Award Tokyo Marunouchi 2016" Tatehata Akira Award (Marubiru, 2016).
