Tadashi Moriyama (MFA '06) in Exhibition at Luis de Jesus LA, Opening May 22, 5pm


Tadashi Moriyama

Tadashi Moriyama (MFA '06) will exhibit work at Luis de Jesus Los Angeles in a show titled Group Show. The exhibit opens Saturday May 22 at 5pm. The other participating artists are Christopher Barnard, Margie Livingston, Christopher Russell, Jason Sherry, and William Staples. The exhibition runs concurrent with Lael Corbin: "Greetings from Earth", in the main gallery.

Tadashi Moriyama was born in Tokyo and raised in Japan and the United States. Moriyama attended Tyler School of Art (BA 2003) and the University of Pennsylvania (MFA 2006). His intricately detailed aerial views of post-apocalyptic landscapes explore themes of creation and subsequent collapse of cities, memories, space and time, where technology and digital media function as manipulators and instigators of fear, death and hopeful renewal. Inspired and influenced by Buddhist and Hindu miniature painting, Italian Renaissance painting, as well as personal experiences, his overcrowded, over-systematized metropolises sprout consumptive organs, and breeding buildings evolve into chaotic knots of life-sustaining connective tissue. This will be Tadashi’s first exhibition with Luis De Jesus Los Angeles. He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Opening Reception: May 22, 5:00 - 8:00pm
Exhibition Dates: May 22 - June 26, 2010
