火の鳥#5

The phoenix is a legendary bird that is said to live forever. That eternity does not mean simply not dying; it throws one's own body into a burning flame and regenerates it as a new life in the burnt ashes. By repeating this death and life, we live forever. I express the eternity of such a firebird with pictures of fireworks. Light that shines up countless times, ignites life called fire, and quietly turns to ashes with a crackling sound. Things that are born from such ashes. Born in 1975. Based in Gunma, he is active. - Solo Exhibitions - 2014 HKU SPACE Hong Kong University Entrance (Hong Kong) 2014 VII International Tashkent Photo Biennale Hirayama Ikuo Art Museum Caravanserai (Uzbekistan) 2014 Nagase Shota Washi Photo Exhibition 'Heart' RICOH IMAGING SQUARE SHINJUKU (Tokyo) 2018 Nagase Shota Washi Photo Exhibition 'Heart' Akutsu Gallery (Gunma) 2020 “The Firebird” Exhibition I Gallery Art-Kan (Gunma) 2020 “The Firebird” Exhibition II Space2*3 (Tokyo) 2022 Manga x Photos = Hinotori Fuji Photo Gallery Ginza (Tokyo) 2022 Nagase Shota Firebird Photo Exhibition, Akutsu Gallery (Gunma) 2023 “Tsubasa of Prayer” Gallery Ah-Tokan (Gunma) - Contract exhibition - 2013-2016/2019 CP+ Awa Washi Booth (Yokohama) 2014-2016 Photokina World of Imaging Awa Washi Booth (Germany) 2014 Creative Japanese Artist in Milan (Italy) 2014 Onward-Navigating the Japanese Future (Los Angeles) 2019 1st Armenian International Photo Festival (Armenia) 2019 International Art Competition ART OLYMPIA Selected Exhibition, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (Tokyo) 2020 “Maebashi Art 2020” Arts Maebashi (Gunma) - PUBLIC COLLECTION - 2018 Hirayama Ikuo Art Museum Caravanserai (Uzbekistan) 2019 Embassy of Japan in Armenia (Armenia) 2022 Maebashi City Hall, Gunma Prefecture (Japan) - PRIVATE COLLECTION - 2018 Mr.I Collection (Gunma) 2018 Akiyama Collection (Gunma) 2021 Teppanyaki Tatsumi Yasumasa (Gunma) 2023 My Real Stuff Museum (Gunma) - Achievements - 2019 1st Armenian International Photo Festival Honorary Jury (Armenia) 2019 1st Armenian International Photo FestivalMaster Class Seminar Lecturer (Armenia) 2019 InternationalArtCompetition ART OLYMPIA Masterpiece - Permanent Exhibitions - Shinmaebashi Kashima Ophthalmology and Plastic Surgery Clinic Oculo Facial Clinic Tokyo
