Nobuhiro Nakanishi was born in Fukuoka, Japan. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tokyo Zokei University and a Masters of Fine Arts from Kyoto City University of Art. Nakanishi lives and works in Osaka.
His work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout Asia and Europe.
Mr Nakanishi’s work is a departure from what has traditionally been understood as sculpture making, which typically involves representing humans or objects in three-dimensional interpretations using media like wood, stone, clay or metal.
In his work, Mr Nakanishi distances himself from the weight, gravity and materiality of media related to sculpture. His expression deals with antithetical ideas of existence and absence, the material and the non-material, the visible and the invisible generated in space, the visually imperceptible, senses and conceptual territories such as consciousness, thoughts, memories and time, inviting the viewer into a mysterious experience.
