Kohei Nawa

Kohei Nawa is a multidisciplinary artist whose diverse practice explores the perception of virtual and physical space, investigating the relationship between nature and artificiality, the individual and the whole, and illustrating how parts, like cells, merge to form complex and dynamic structures. Notable solo exhibitions include “L_B_S” at Ginza Maison Hermès, Tokyo (2009); “Synthesis” at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (2011); “BEELDTUIN” at the Kirishima Open Air Museum, Kagoshima (2013); and “Throne” as part of “Japonismes 2018: les âmes en resonance” at the Musée du Louvre, Paris (2018). He participated in the 6th Asia-Pacific Triennale in Brisbane, Australia, 2009; the 14th Asian Art Biennale Bangladesh in Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2010 (winner of the Grand Prize); the Aichi Triennale in Nagoya, Japan, 2013, among others. Nawa is currently an Associate Professor at Kyoto University of Art and Design. After “VESSEL” and “PLANET (wanderer),” “Mist” is the third creation Nawa has made with Damien Jalet.
