▎一所不住：Ever Unsettled

Kiyoshi Hamada Solo Exhibition

Hamada began his career as a print artist, and over the course of 50 years of artistic practice, he has continued to seek new forms of expression, guided by the Zen Buddhist phrase “Issho Fujyu” (lit. “never dwelling in one place” ). This principle reflects his refusal to become complacent in his art, instead embracing constant evolution and exploration. This exhibition traces Hamada’ s artistic journey, presenting works ranging from his early print pieces to his more recent creations.

Earlier this year, a large-scale retrospective of his work at the Museum of Art, Kochi—his hometown—garnered renewed attention to his artistic legacy. We invite you to experience the rich evolution of Hamada’ s practice through this special exhibition.

▎Artist

浜田浄 Kiyoshi Hamada

Kiyoshi Hamada was born in 1937 in Kochi, Japan. Following graduation from Tama Art University in 1961, Hamada became acquainted with leading post-war Japan avant-garde artists, such as Yoshishige Saito, and began pursuing abstract modes of production. He received an Honorable Mention at the Osaka Biennale of Prints Competition of 1977 and, with much acclaim, has been active in various domestic and international exhibitions.

In 2015, he held a solo exhibition, “The Legacy of Kiyoshi Hamada – Paintings of Layering and Erasing” , at the Nerima Art Museum. With great promise, Hamada’ s oeuvre has developed over time. Nevertheless, from his iconic Drawing series to his recent monochrome semi-cultural works, Hamada’ s preoccupation with the “systems” of production has remained essential to his work.

His works have been acquired by various museums, such as the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (Japan),Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (Japan), Artizon Museum (Tokyo, Japan), and the Kraków Museum of Art (Poland).
