Who's That Artist?
Makoto Fujimura is a leading contemporary artist whose process-driven, refractive “slow art” has been described by David Brooks of The New York Times as “a small rebellion against the quickening of time”. Fujimura's work has received critical recognition for over three decades. Artist and critic Robert Kushner wrote about Fujimura’s art in Art in America in the 90's: “The idea of forging a new kind of art, about hope, healing, redemption, refuge, while maintaining visual sophistication and intellectual integrity is a growing movement, one which finds Makoto Fujimura’s work at the vanguard.” His art displays an "imminent abstraction", placing itself "on the cusp of the real...where the mundane and intimate can be dreamed of and the metaphysical can approach the tangible" (Peter Frank, art critic and curator, 2020). His works are regularly exhibited in museums around the world.
