Hiroshi Noda
Hiroshi Noda (1936- ) is one of the leading Japanese realism painters. After graduating from Tokyo University of the Arts, Noda was busy as an illustrator, but his desire to create paintings grew and he began to devote himself to painting in his mid-30s. After teaching younger artists at the Hiroshima City University Faculty of Art, he now spends his days and nights at his studio in Hokkaido, where he continues to lead the world of realism in painting, even though he has passed the age of 80.
This exhibition is a retrospective of Hiroshi Noda's painting career, from his early years to his recent work. The exhibition will feature work from his student days, when he was searching for his own style, as well as illustrations and designs from his days at an advertising firm. From his detailed still life paintings ("Black Age/Gold Age") when he made his debut on the art world, to the original illustrations for the serialized newspaper novel "Marshland" (written by Otohiko Kaga), which made his name known throughout the country. He has also painted bones or living human beings to show his view of life and death in his series " Tokijiku" and "The," as well as his recent series of life-size portraits, "Sacred" and "Sublime". The exhibition traces the path of realism that Hiroshi Noda has followed in his pursuit of "being" by consistently and unflinchingly gazing at and depicting motifs of people, still life, and landscapes.
