Hidenori MIMA — Kinesis: Forest of Water / Beyond the Impermanence of Heaven and Earth
An exhibition presenting Hidenori Mima's water-themed works from the late 1980s to his latest pieces, tracing nearly 40 years of creation.Summary
Hidenori Mima, one of the leading painters of contemporary Japanese-style painting (Nihonga), has consistently explored the theme of water since the late 1980s. Building on traditional Nihonga materials and techniques, he incorporates the flow and gravity of water into his process, pursuing a unique form of painterly expression. This exhibition focuses on his Kinesis series—named after the Greek word for movement and change—while also presenting early works from the late 1980s and 1990s such as Untitled and Water Works, alongside his latest pieces. It traces the trajectory of Mima's creative practice, which has engaged with the theme of water for roughly 40 years, and surveys the evolution and current state of his expression. The exhibition runs from November 20 to December 19, 2026, with free admission and closed on Sundays.
