Yu-ki Nishimoto's first solo exhibition "Ryu no Kiseki" opened at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum on Saturday 6th January and will run until Sunday 11th February 2018. Nishimoto is a highly talented, emerging sumi-e (indian ink painting) artist who is known for dynamic depictions of a wide range of subjects, such as dragons, warriors, athletes, and female figures.

We had a chance attend the opening ceremony and press viewing that took place on Friday 5th January prior to the start of the exhibition. Make sure to read our report to find-out more! An exciting series of events are scheduled to take place during the exhibition run, so make sure not to miss-out! Nishimoto will be painting live in front of an audience and holding a signing session on 13th January. There will also a "Sumi-e artist Yu-ki Nishimoto & classic guitarist Kaori Muraji special live performance" taking place on 2nd February. Make sure to visit the official website (>> HERE!) for more information! The events will provide a unique insight into how Nishimoto creates his artwork, the type of brush strokes he employs, and the process that goes into producing the beautiful shades of color that makes sumi-e ink work so widely loved!
