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 art at the University of Tsukuba, he moved to the U.K., where he worked on the theme of "Super Happy". He has been leading the project "Over the Wall", an activity to paint murals around the world, and has been involved in activities conducted in various places like slum in Kenya (2015), a national hospital in East Timor (2016), Ukraine (a joint production with the UNHCR in 2017), and a women's prison in Ecuador (2018). In July 2024, his English-language picture book "Over the Wall" (Tokyo Shoseki) was published.
