Japanese Painter Pei Wang to Hold New Exhibition 'Tenpen' at Nakajima Art, Ginza

Living in Japan for over 20 years, Japanese painter Pei Wang has continued her work guided by the charm of Japanese painting. Throughout her career, she has consistently portrayed children from her homeland, China.

In 2019, after becoming a mother, Wang began using the small emotions and discoveries found in daily life with her own child as a new driving force for her creativity, re-evaluating children through a mother's gaze. This exhibition introduces works that express the various emotions reflected through the figures of children and moments of happiness in daily life.

As the title suggests, the new exhibition 'Tenpen' features many works based on blue tones that evoke the sky.

Pei Wang arrived in Japan in 1998 and earned her Ph.D. from Hiroshima City University. In recent years, together with her husband, lacquer artist Tomotsugu Otsuka, she has been actively involved in cultural exchange activities between Japan and China.

Her relationship with Nakajima Art began with her first solo exhibition in 2007, and this exhibition marks her 8th show at the gallery.
