Shalom by Makoto Fujimura
19x24.75, 2001
Shalom is an original lithograph printed by hand from stone on handmade Japanese kozo, a papermaking fiber which derives from the mulberry tree. As an artist working from his studio near Ground Zero until the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City, Fujimura was deeply affected by the tragic events of that day. Contrary to the negative implications of the attacks, however, his art continues to speak of “hope even in darkness, and the deeper reconsideration of life’s meaning.”
About the Artist
A native of Boston, Massachusets, Makoto Fujimura was educated bi-culturally between the U.S. and Japan. He graduated from Bucknell University and completed Master’s as well as Postgraduate studies at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music.
After 20 years as a successful artist in Japan and the U.S., Fujimura has become a voice of bi-cultural authority on the nature and cultural assessment of beauty, with his paintings seeking to address the creative process and explore what it means to see. The work moves the observer from cognitive categorization to visceral experience.
In 1990, Fujimura founded The International Arts Movement with the goal of inspiring the creative community to engage the culture that is and create the world that ought to be.
His works are represented by Dillon Gallery in New York as well as Tokyo (
www.dillongallery.com
). Public collections include The Saint Louis Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo and the Time Warner/ AOL/ CNN building in Hong Kong. He was appointed to the National Council on the Arts, a six year presidential appointment, in 2003.
