Bio
Yu Nishimura was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in 1982, and still lives and works there. He graduated from Tama Art University in Tokyo in 2004, where he studied oil painting. His multilayered paintings draw on everyday sources, street photography, anime and the varied landscapes and built surroundings of Japan. His first major institutional show was at the Kiyosu City Haruhi Art Museum in Aichi in 2010, followed by solo exhibitions at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2015 and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa in 2018. He is represented by David Zwirner, Sadie Coles HQ and Crèvecœur.
His works are mostly oil paintings on canvas, and a gallery invoice and the date of the work are the first things a buyer asks for. Canvases should be checked for scuffs and abrasions.
