Sundaram Tagore Gallery to unveil Hiroshi Senju's masterpieces

Hiroshi Senju, one of Japan’s most celebrated contemporary artists, will present new fluorescent waterfall paintings at Sundaram Tagore Gallery in Hong Kong from April 16 to June 9, 2013.

Noted worldwide for his sublime waterfall and cliff images, often monumental in scale, Hiroshi Senju combines a minimalist visual language rooted in Abstract Expressionism with ancient painting techniques unique to Japan.

In his most recent paintings, the New York-based artist uses fluorescent pigments to create waterfall images, a style he first explored in 2003.

These paintings are black and white in daylight, yet under ultraviolet light they fluoresce an arresting electric blue.

An ode to the ubiquitous city lights of our contemporary existence, Senju’s waterfalls hover between night and day as he successfully straddles the realms of industry and nature, the material and the ethereal.

Hiroshi Senju was the first Asian artist to receive an Honorable Mention Award at the Venice Biennale (1995) and has participated in exhibitions around the world.

In 2004, he was the art director for the new Haneda Airport Terminal in Tokyo, where he completed one of his largest installations. The Benesse Art Site of Naoshima Island, designed by Tadao Ando, also houses two large-scale installations.
