Shigeru Nishikawa
Shigeru Nishikawa was born in Gifu Prefecture in 1977. Withdrew from the Environmental Design Course in the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering at Kinki University in 1997 and completed the Painting Course of the Osaka College of Art in 2002. In 2007 he stayed in the U.S. for a year and worked as an assistant in the painting course at the Triform Camp Hill Community, a community for the disabled and able-bodied in New York State. He has had solo exhibitions in Nara, Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nagoya, and is currently based in Kizugawa, Kyoto.
Nishikawa has been experimenting with abstract expression using buildings and structures under construction, renovation, or destruction, covered with fabric-like sheets that suddenly appear in the city as the subject. For Nishikawa, they symbolize the struggle between the forces of human beings to expand the cities and the forces of nature. These "Shield House" works are painted with bold brushstrokes that depart from realism and reproduction, an appropriate technique to the theme, that is, “the fluidity of all things”, “the creation and disappearance”, and “time”.
