Adrian Berg: Infinite Garden
The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art is hosting the first solo exhibition in Japan for Adrian Berg, showcasing his landscape paintings over five decades.Summary
The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art is holding the first solo exhibition in Japan for Adrian Berg (1929-2011), titled "Adrian Berg: Infinite Garden." Berg consistently pursued landscape painting throughout his career, notably depicting Regent's Park, where his studio was located, for about 20 years starting in the 1960s. His unique style involved weaving multiple spatial expressions and timelines onto a single canvas, which evolved as his subjects expanded to gardens across the UK and landscapes from his travels. The exhibition title reflects his pictorial exploration of the 'garden' theme and the ceaselessly changing appearance of nature itself, influenced by weather, sunlight, and seasons. This exhibition offers the first comprehensive overview of Berg's approximately 50-year career in Japan, featuring works from his early to late periods, supplemented by rich related materials. The exhibition runs from January 24 to April 12, 2026, and includes related programs like gallery talks.
