Chihiro NAGASHIMA 永島千裕
Japanese 1983

Chihiro Nagashima was born in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan in 1983 and graduated from the Department of Oil Painting, Kyoto Saga University of Arts in 2006. She often uses bright acrylic to depict images exquisitely. These images are like totems and comics, they symbolize the large amount of information fragments that appear on SNS every day; they also symbolize the spirits of thousands of gods. These images that transcend religion, culture, race, and gender are like a bird's-eye view of this fast-changing world.



Chihiro Nagashima was selected for the "Tokyo Wonder Wall" in 2004 and the “Wonder Seed” in 2008, and became the winner of the "Tokyo Wonder Wall" award in 2007. Her solo exhibitions include: "Tokyo Wonder Wall 2007 - Chihiro Nagashima Solo Exhibition" (2007), "There is nothing to be afraid of" (Takeda Art Co., 2012), "Confess, Return to the Forest, Sing a Song" (Shinjuku Takashimaya 10th Floor Art Gallery, 2014) ), "Birthday" (2017), "Kamino-Manimani" (Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, 2017), "Sign" (Imura Art Gallery, 2018), "God bless you!" (2020), etc.
