Naoya Inose

b. 1988, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Inose was born in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan. He graduated from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, where he specialized in Oil Painting, in 2012 and received his MA (Fine Art) at UAL Chelsea College of Art And Design in 2017. Inose was a participant of 21st DOMANI, and he has exhibited his works in museums such as National Art Center Tokyo and Takamatsu City Museum of Art. His works are included in the Takahashi Collection and in the Benetton Foundation. Inose’s work explores the tension between the natural world and its grasping appropriation by human influence. Inose uses oil painting techniques to create both meticulously realistic landscapes and abstract oil paintings on canvas. His works of art create an inquiry of our relationship and understanding of nature. Inose also creates a debate on the role of the original masterpieces and how this has changes in the contemporary postmodern world.
