Yasuo Nomura (born 1979 in Shimane, Japan) is a Japanese painter and conceptual artist based in New York.
Biography
Yasuo Nomura was born in Shimane, Japan in 1979. He studied oil painting at the Musashino Art University in Japan, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2004. Nomura completed an artist in residence program at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe in Japan (2015)[1] and at J-Collabo in New York, USA (2022).
Work
For the first decade of his career, Nomura worked primarily in two-dimensional media before developing an interest in how mathematics could inform artistic composition. During his residency at KIPMU, he began investigating what artwork and relativity might look like beyond three dimensions. This series of investigations led to the creation of his Dimensionism series and PION works. Nomura challenges the logic and rules in traditional fine art, creating his own style driven by geometry, string theory, and ratios[2]. He uses reflective surfaces, symbolic elements, and the situational perception fostered by his works to connect with his viewers. His works have taken various forms, including interactive mobile structures, large-scale environmental installations, and conceptual maps that trace the movement of art through space and time.
Projects from his Dimensionism series and PION works have been exhibited in both solo and group shows in New York and Japan, and have been featured in installations on the International Space Station.
Awards and recognition
Nomura was granted the fellowship to study in the United States by the Program of Overseas Study for Upcoming Artists, sponsored by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan (2018). Nomura was also selected as the Annual Vilcek Foundation Support Artist Grant awardee for his project-based artworks (2021 to 2024).[3]
