Naoki Kimura
Naoki Kimura spent his childhood in the Nishijin district of Kyoto, a place of mixed tradition and innovation. It was during this period that the foundation for perceiving the gently toned "texture" that characterizes his current work was formed. At the age of 15, Kimura was inspired by the power of photography to speak to him "eloquently" when he visited a photography exhibition featuring works by deaf people, and he chose photography as a means of expressing his own sensibility.
After moving to the U.S. in 1987, Kimura visited Italy in 1990 to create his work, where he found his instinctive response to what he perceived as "beautiful. Since 2015, Kimura has shifted his subject matter from Europe and the U.S. to Japan, but his theme has remained consistent: to capture in a single piece the "fluctuation" and texture of a place or space. Kimura's theme of capturing the "wavering" of a place or space and its texture in a single piece of work has remained consistent, and has been enthusiastically supported by many collectors in Europe, the United States, and other countries.
Kimura's work is not unique in the field of photography in that he finds beauty in wabi-sabi, and he captures the serene moments of light that emerge in a given place. In this exhibition, Kimura will present a series of new works featuring Japan as the subject matter.
