Riusuke Fukahori is called a goldfish painter because he projects himself onto goldfish and breathes life into them. The third collection of his works includes his new installation “Heisei Shinchuya,” a collection of live works.

He paints goldfish with acrylic paint on layers of resin to express a three-dimensional reality, creating an outstanding technique called “laminated painting,” for which he has received high acclaim both in Japan and abroad.

He has exhibited his works mainly at art galleries and department stores, but this is his first solo exhibition at a public museum. Using the museum as a stage, he presented an installation of a new world of goldfish that he has never created before.
