Katsuaki Shigeno completed MA Printing Course of Tokyo National University of Arts in 2003. He creates his art work by a variety of means such as choreography, lithography, oil painting and drawings.
Shigeno declares that his grass roots is a copperplate print. Smell of the ink, various kinds of tools, press machines' special atmosphere like a printer in the good old days, also his own dreams and desires… All of these things elevate his very original art work.
Shigeno decided on "romantic" as his theme for this exhibition. For Shigeno, the romantic is a faint desire, escape from reality. He has many contradictory feelings towards it, and he shows what his heartfelt love through his art works.
