An exhibition by Koichi Matsuda, a painter depicting World Heritage sites, will be held at Nishiazabu Idearide Gallery “World Heritage Art vol. 22”
*Koichi Matsuda solo exhibition vol.22*
The new works are mainly homages to famous paintings inspired by world heritage sites.
Through his works, Matsuda expresses the beauty of the earth and the preciousness of modern times, and conveys to those who view them his desire for joy and peace in the world. Matsuda mostly incorporates scenes from world heritage sites into his works, but this solo exhibition will focus on homage paintings. world heritage
“The Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Dominican Monastery with Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper”

Koichi Matsuda Leonardo da Vinci Baptism of Christ 2024 455x530mm The concept of the work is World Heritage Art
Koichi Matsuda creates paintings with the theme of “World Heritage Art.” I love world heritage sites and have visited 91 places in 30 countries so far.
Having visited more than 100 World Heritage Sites, I have been able to experience the beauty of the world I have seen and experience the beauty of being there myself.
The momentary feeling and sense of exhilaration that you get from putting yourself there will be born in the form of colors and shapes. In recent years, studio painting has become the main focus.
