Ryota Umino [modern artist]

Ryota Umino is a Japanese folk painter living in the present age. I think there are many people who think of Katsushika Hokusai as a customs painter in the city of Sumida, but like Hokusai, he likes to collect based on experiences, interviews, and conversations about small human stories in the lives and everyday life of the people of the land. The stories we often hear and hear in our daily lives, but we forget to look at the details. He uses the techniques of Japanese painting and his own humor to color the canvas with those stories. His paintings provide viewers with the excitement of conversation and discovery, creating between easy communication. Ryota Umino, a folk painter born in the modern era, aims to reduce the distance between people and art by providing people who watch the work with a spark of conversation.

Born in Shizuoka-shi, Shizuoka

Graduated from Japanese painting, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts

He has an atelier in Bunka, Sumida-ku, and is based in Japan, Hong Kong and the United States.
