Hirofumi Kera

Not just limited to the domains of beauty and fashion, hairstyling and makeup are both indispensable parts of various modern forms of expression, including film, theater, and the performing arts. The skills and aesthetic sense of the practitioner (the hair and makeup artist), have value and attraction not merely as part of behind-the-scenes work, but as elements of creation.

This exhibition captures the current state and potential of hair and makeup from a new perspective, through the work of eye-catching hair and makeup artist Hirofumi Kera. Kera has been active at the forefront of fashion and beauty, providing hair and makeup for many advertisements and magazines, and working as chief hair stylist for fashion shows at home and abroad, including Paris Fashion Week. Meanwhile, in recent years he has collaborated with artists of other genres such as contemporary art, expanding his work in innovating the concepts of hair and makeup.
