UEDA GENJI Profile
I was born in 1977 and am originally from Miyagi Prefecture.
I graduated from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Tsukuba.
I was raised in an artistic family; my grandfather was a painter,
my father an advertising designer,
and my mother an art teacher.
During my teenage years,
my father experienced business failures,
which led to financial difficulties for the family.
After overcoming various challenges,
I held my first solo exhibition in 2006,
where I met an entrepreneur who had returned
from New York and recognized my talent.
I then began holding annual solo exhibitions at her gallery.
My work explores themes such as yin and yang
and the origin of the world.
My artistic vision is appreciated across generations
and has been evaluated highly by various businesspeople and executives.
In 1999, I was selected
for the Independent Art Association’s Independent Exhibition,
followed by the Ueno Forest Museum Grand Prize Exhibition in 2000.
I graduated from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Tsukuba in 2001.
After working as a company employee for five years,
I began my career as a painter in 2006.
In the same year, I held my first solo exhibition.
Since then, I have held annual solo exhibitions in Ginza, Tokyo,
and Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
In 2019, I exhibited at the International Council of Museums (ICOM) Kyoto Conference and was selected for the “Origins of Ginza Art” exhibition.
