Artists

Kishin Shinoyama
Kishin Shinoyama has been at the front lines of photography since the late 1950s. His diverse work including nude photography, cityscapes, and celebrity portraits have at times created a stir in society. Shinoyama coined the term “gekisha,” literally meaning “spectacular photography,” and this vogue expression is now known widely in Japan. He has not only employed a broad array of themes and genres, but also a diverse variety of changes in his techniques with astounding energy and speed as he continues to capture “this moment” with his razor-sharp instincts.

For this exhibition Shinoyama has chosen the theme of “art,” creating new images of open-air sculptures from the museum’s collection by masters such as Henry Moore, Carl Miles, and Giuliano Vangi that speak to the beholder with a great sense of power. These art photographs are new to Shinoyama’s usual line of work. The exhibition also focuses on dynamic images taken using “Sinorama” – Shinoyama’s unique technique of connecting multiple cameras – along with photographs of Balthus, Taro Okamoto, Yayoi Kusama, Yasumasa Morimura and other artists whom Shinoyama has known, as well as images of these artists’ studios. “Kishin meets Art” captures moments between Shinoyama and his encounters with art rarely been to the public.
