Hiroshima Shinkichi is a Japanese artist known for his caricatured paintings that exhibit the everyday actions of humans with an added tone of mockery. Using acrylic paints and airbrushes, Shinkichi paints amusing moments with pop colors on his canvases.
Hiroshima Shinkichi: “My daily life is drawing characters whose emotions are somewhat unreadable and distorted. There is always a story behind their amusing actions that unfold in ordinary everyday life.”
Creating unformed figures that are participating in realistic fiction, Shinkichi displays his humorous perspective on possible scenarios and encourages the viewers to fantasize about the before and afters of the stories in the paintings. On each artwork, a certain moment of the action is highlighted, either enlarged or focused. While the overall compositions have an attention-grabbing aspect, the darker sides of the discussed subjects create a juxtaposition.
In March 2022 Shinkichi took part in the group exhibition “YOLO SOLO” at 3331 Arts Chiyoda in Tokyo, Japan. His first solo exhibition opened at Moosey Art London in October 2022. The artist currently lives and works in Saitama Prefecture of Japan.
