About this Event

Hear internationally recognized painter Hiroshi Senju talk about his artistic process in person on the opening day of .


Senju is known for his ethereal waterfall paintings, which can be found in art collections globally and in public spaces like Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, the US Embassy in Tokyo, the Buddhist monastery on Mount Kōya, and the Embassy of Japan in Washington, DC. He has traveled around the world to study waterfalls and distills their essence using mineral-based pigments that have been a staple of Japanese painting for centuries.


After the talk, Curator of Japanese Art Frank Feltens joins Senju for a conversation and audience Q&A.


To celebrate the exhibition opening and program, the galleries will remain open until 6:30 p.m. so attendees can experience these two dynamic artworks before the start of the artist talk.
