ARTIST

SHINNOSUKE TOJO

Born in Nagano in 1978, he graduated from Tokyo Zokei University in 2004 with a degree in comparative art and completed a research course at the same university in 2005. His works are based on his own mental images and unconscious imaginary images, which he embodies by applying small and large scratches and rusts on the surface of metal sheets and industrial products. His focus on existence is not limited to painting, but also extends to sculpture and installation work. He won the Grand Prix at the SICF18 and VOCA 2019 exhibitions. In the following year, he held his first solo exhibition at the museum, "From the Mouth to the Arrival" (Koumi Museum of Art, Nagano). He has participated in "Sharing the Future" (Chiang Mai University, Thailand) and "Convective Scenery 2018" (Guangzhou 53 Art Museum, Guangzhou, China). He is active both nationally and internationally.
