The artist will talk about his innovative work and Japanese culture. Admission is free and open to the public. Tomokazu Matsuyama was born in Japan in 1976, and currently lives and works in New York. He received his MFA in Communications Design from the Pratt Institute, New York. Matsuyamas important exhibitions include the Japan Society, New York; Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; the Katzen Arts Center at American University, Washington, D.C.; and the Museum of Contemporary Art Museum, Sydney, Australia, among others. His works are in the permanent collections of Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; the Royal Family, Dubai, UAE; the Standard Hotel (Andre Balazs Group), the Cosmopolitan Hotel Group, Microsoft Collection and more. His most recent major exhibitions included Oh Magic Night at the Hong Kong Contemporary Art Foundation in 2017. In August 2014 he was awarded the Harbour City Gallery Public Art Commission in Hong Kong. Matsuyamas work responds to his own bi-cultural experience of growing up between Japan and America by bringing together aspects of both Eastern and Western aesthetic systems. His practice repositions traditional icons within a broader global context in order to create a distinctive style that resists cultural categorization and embodies what the artist refers to as the struggle of reckoning the familiar local with the familiar global. By raising questions of national and individual identity through the formal qualities and subject matter of his paintings, Matsuyama examines the natural chaos of our social environments and challenges viewers to confront their own conceptions of cultural homogeneity. Matsuyama is influenced by a variety of subjects, including Japanese art from the Edo and Meiji eras, classical Greek and Roman statuary, French Renaissance painting, post-war contemporary art, and the visual language of global, popular culture as embodied by mass-produced commodities.
