KOJI KINUTANI: A Journey of Color and Imagery
Koji Kinutani (1943- ) is a well-known fresco work artist, featuring a unique style with a colorful and energetic fresco technique. In 1970 Koji Kinutani went to Italy and studied both classical and modern fresco techniques under Bruno Saetti. After returning to Japan, he became the youngest artist to be awarded the Yasui Prize. Following this, he established his original style of painting using Japanese motifs such as Buddha statues, Shinto gods and Mount Fuji, along with landscapes of Kyoto and Nara.
Along with his paintings, this exhibition also introduces Kinutani’s ceramic works, glass works and video installation.
