Mika Ninagawa Photo Exhibition
Perspectives of Mika Ninagawa through New Photographic Works
FUJIFILM SQUARE is pleased to announce a solo photo exhibition of selected works by leading Japanese photographer Mika Ninagawa, who has gained a broad fan base, especially among younger generations, for her artistic photographic expression and aesthetic and distinctive color sense. The exhibition entitled “Perspectives of Mika Ninagawa through New Photographic Works” runs from November 14 – December 3, 2014.
Although Mika Ninagawa is active in advertising and fashion photography, and is much in demand for photographic assignments of models, celebrities and fellow artists, she still finds the time and energy to create and publish her own photographic collections.
This photo exhibition features a selection of works that depict the flora and landscapes of places to which Ninagawa has traveled both within Japan and overseas. These unpublished works demonstrate the bold compositions and vivid colors that are hallmarks of Mika Ninagawa's photography.
With the late autumn chill and the gradual disappearance of brilliant colors from the natural environment, Ninagawa's vivid hues will transform the venue for the exhibition into a haven of warmth and brightness.
