“Is what you see what I see?” I start with a question, the angle of the eye, the gap that separates us. 

My paintings revolve, there's always difference, certain spaces.  Painting is map making on a wall, on the floor and sometimes even with obstructions, colours and shapes show the way disturbing your interpretation and indexes."

Working across diverse media, from delicate pen and ink to spray-painted water colours, often creating impressionist Rorschach images, that occupy a liminal space of translation where mountains can at once metamorphose into anatomies before our eyes. Playfully engaging with subjects from fairytale imagining to existential reflections that are all served up with the hesitance of a 21st century subjectivity.

Performances and exhibition include Port Eliot Festival Saltash, Turner Contemporary Margate and Leaving Language for The Folkestone Triennial Collateral.

Hiromi Nakajima lives and works in Kanagara.
