Works
This is the first collection of carefully selected works from the 10 years from the initial series in 2015 to the present by Shinya Imanishi, who is based in Nara and energetically expanding his activities in Japan and abroad.
The cover is full of playfulness, allowing the viewer to experience the act of digging (scraping) paint, which is a part of the production process, and the work is a full-scale masterpiece realized by Sun-M Color's fine art printing, with a thorough focus on color. We hope you will take a look at the book and experience it for yourself.

Artist Profile Born in 1990 in Nara Prefecture. Currently resides in Nara Prefecture. Completed graduate studies at Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2015. Shinya Imanishi explores the relationship between materials and images, viewpoints and distance, and the ambiguities of our common perceptions, while drawing on a background of Eastern philosophy, Western art, and Japanese art. In many of his works, he applies layers of oil paints and repeats the act of scraping while leaving powerful traces of brushstrokes, expanding the possibilities of self-expression.
