ABOUT

ART FOR THOUGHT is pleased to present the solo exhibition of Kensuke Miyazaki, “Floating about” from December 13 to 21.

Under the theme of “Super Happy,” Miyazaki has been developing a mural project around the world in collaboration with local people from various cultures. This exhibition will be an exhibition of paintings created based on the mural painting workshop in Palau. 

What do the “blue oceans” spread out before our eyes in a gallery in distant Japan inspire in the viewers? What does the “blue ocean” mean to each of us in today's society?

Like the fish and swimmers in the Palauan sea, I would like to ask how we can be “Super Happy” by halting our steps and floating about.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in Saga City in 1978.

After completing a master's degree in fine arts at the University of Tsukuba, he moved to London and began art creation.

Under the theme of “Super Happy,” he creates artworks that make people happy the moment they see them.

He is currently leading “Over the Wall,” a project to paint and preserve murals around the world, working with local residents. He has painted murals in slums in Kenya (2015) and a national hospital in East Timor (2016), collaborated with UNHCR in Ukraine (2017), painted in a women's prison in Ecuador (2018), collaborated with Doctors Without Borders in Haiti (2019), painted in a children's hospital in Pakistan (2022), and collaborated with children with disabilities in Kenya (2013). And most recently in 2024, he collaborated with the local community in Palau to paint a mural at the international airport, the gateway to the country.
