Asuka NAKAYAMA

Asuka NAKAYAMA

Nakayama was born in Hyogo, Japan in 1986. After completing a master’s degree in painting at Kyoto University of the Arts, she lives and works in Hyogo. In 2015, Nakayama had her first solo museum exhibition at the NISHIWAKI OKANOYAMA MUSEUM OF ART. She also participated in the VOCA Exhibition (at The Ueno Royal Museum, in 2019) known as a steppingstone to success for young artists. Also, Nakayama won the Kyoto Newspaper Prize at the Kyoto Prefecture New Artists Exhibition (Kyoto Museum of Art, 2021). Her humorous and critical work has attracted a lot of attention. We hope you will visit us and enjoy her ambitious pieces, which Nakayama says, “I have no choice but to paint now.” We hope you will visit and enjoy Nakayama’s works at this exhibit.
