Shigeru Nakanishi (中西 繁 Nakanishi Shigeru, born August 1946) is a Japanese artist from Tokyo, Japan.[1][2]

Life and work

Nakanishi graduated from the Tokyo University of Science Engineering Division, Architecture Section in 1969.[3] He then became an architectural designer, painting as a hobby. After winning the leading prize in the Selection of Contemporary Western Painting in 1990, he made his debut with the first solo exhibition Melancholic Paris at the Ichimai-no-e Gallery in Ginza, Tokyo.[1][2][4] He has held a solo exhibition every year since.[5]

In 1995, he began his series of paintings titled Ruins after the Great Hanshin earthquake in Kobe.[4]

In 2000, he retired from architecture and began painting exclusively.[1] In 2001, he received the Special Commendation Citation at the 33rd NITTEN (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition) for painting Deserted Island 2001, depicting Hashima Island (Warship Island), Nagasaki.[6] In 2002, he held an exhibition of his Deserted City series in Ginza, Tokyo. This series of paintings covered war-torn and deserted cities such as Sarajevo, Belgrade, Chernobyl, and Auschwitz.[1]

In 2004, Nakanishi held the exhibition titled Landscape at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse. Following the exhibition, he lived in Paris Montmartre for two years.[5] He studied in the École des Beaux-Arts and travelled across Europe and the United States.[1][4] He returned to Japan in 2006, touring with an exhibition termed Melancholic Paris Ⅱ in 12 locations throughout the country.[1][5]

In 2013 he painted a mural Stockholm Twilight at the Tokyo University of Science.[7]
