Japanese artist Hiroshi's work mixes atmospheric color with abstract brushstrokes to create quiet, but bold expressions. I studied drawing and painting at the Art Academy of Osaka Municipal Museum of Art and have exhibited in many solo shows and group exhibitions. My works are collected throughout Japan, Asia, Europe, Australia and the U.S. To learn more about my artwork, please visit my website: www.hiroshimatsumoto.com or, you may see my recent work on Flickr Thanks, Hiroshi Join the Mail List to get new paintings via email everyday. -Hiroshi Matsumoto Statement I love oil paint, it's texture, viscosity, slow-drying time and smell. I paint abstract. I never know what it is going to be until it's complete. When I start to paint, I always put some colours on the canvas without thinking. My choice of colours is often accidental or intuitive. I try to catch the chance meeting of colour with composition. Sometimes I get lost, and then other times I find myself walking along a path that brings me back to where I belong. Abstract is for me a concrete way to share an inner sense, place and time with you directly and deeply. -Exhibitions Group Exhibition "BEAUTIFUL ELSEWHERE" International exhibition of contemporary art November 23 - December 03, 2009 Universita' degli Studi di Napoli "Parthenope" Villa Doria D'Angri Via Petrarca, 80, Napoli ,Italy Click here for more information Preview opening October 30 - November 1, 2009 Three Ravens Gallery, Ardmore, PA, United States Group Exhibition "ASIAN OVERVIEW ROME 2009" Exhibition of artists from Italy and Far East June 10 - June 24, 2009 Villa De Santis Via Casilina corner Via Gordiani, Rome, Italy Click here for more information Group Exhibition "Asian collection" February 14 - February 28, 2009 Il Ramo d'Oro, Napoli, Italy Click here for more information Group Exhibition "Paths of thought" November 7 - November 16, 2008 Sala delle terrazze, Castel dell'Ovo, Napoli, Italy Click here for more information -Publications Downtown LA Life Magazine International August 2009 http://downtownlalife.com/ "Hiroshi's amazing use of color and texture draw us into a world of wonderous pigment and emotional expressions.
