Selection of the artists for this exhibition
was done on the experience of exhibition organized in 1998 and also through
the Catalogues. Finally we have selected a group of artists consisted of
15 members of PRINTSAURUS. One-person exhibitions of several artists from
this group we already made during last years: Y. TAKAHASHI, K. KITAMURA, Y. UEDA (2000); A.TANIGUCHI (2001); H. MIYAYAMA (2002); S.KAWACHI & T.SAITO (2003). A relatively large group
exhibition was done during the 6th International
Art Salon in March 2003. We are also planning few new exhibitions in
the nearest future...

K. NAGAI (1947) - grew up in Hachioji,
a suburb of Tokyo, a place which has been famous for its silk industry. His
father was a professional weaver and a manufacturer of material from which
he made kimonos. He also made decorative designs for these - whilst in his
garden he planted flowers which produced the colour mixtures for the designs.
So Kenji was obviously very much affected by his environment; in fact, he
started to create his own art-work from a very early age and which his father
obviously encouraged. Later he was impressed by paintings of Van Gogh and
even tried to imitate his art.
K. Nagai was graduated from the Musashino University of fine art in Tokyo in 1972. Since that time he has participated in many national and international exhibitions and won many prizes. Kenji Nagai is an extremely interesting and fascinating artist and we are honoured that we can exhibit some of his work in Russia. More works of Mr. K NAGAI |
