Shotaro Sanada, Artist
Born in Hyōgo Prefecture in 2000. After graduating from the Department of Fine Arts at Tokyo University of the Arts, the artist is currently enrolled in the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies at the University of Tokyo. They conduct research that traverses the fields of painting and artificial intelligence.
Their abstract paintings, themed around “new landscapes” that weave in a unique interpretation of time and gravity, have attracted attention since their time at Tokyo University of the Arts and have won numerous awards, including Art Olympia 2022, the Geidai Art Plaza Prize, and the Tokyo Geidai Art Fest Excellence Award.
In 2024, as an emerging artist, they held a solo exhibition at Ginza GSIX, where all works sold out within about an hour of opening. In 2025, they will hold a large-scale solo exhibition spanning four floors—the first of its kind in the history of Hankyu Department Store.
