Kunio Nakamura (born 1971) is a Japanese artist and the founder of the art gallery "6jigen (6th dimension)" based in Ogikubo, Tokyo. He is widely recognized as a prominent figure in the art world. Nakamura's artistic journey began during his time at Hibiya High School, where he developed a passion for visual arts. At the young age of 17, he held his first solo exhibition, which received acclaim from renowned artist Tadanori Yokoo.
Nakamura's artistic endeavors extend beyond traditional mediums. He has explored the realm of video production and made significant contributions as a director of art and travel programs for various broadcasters, including commercial networks and NHK World. Through these programs, Nakamura has had the opportunity to engage in visual storytelling, showcasing the beauty of art and culture while working in countries across the globe. With over 60 countries visited to date, his experiences have greatly influenced his artistic perspective.
Currently, Nakamura actively pursues his passion as a painter and kintsugi artist.[1] His artistic vision blends modern artistic expressions with the traditional Japanese art form of kintsugi, which involves repairing broken ceramics with lacquer and gold, creating unique and visually captivating pieces. His dedication to this craft has led to workshops and exhibitions held not only in Tokyo but also in disaster-stricken areas like Tohoku and Kumamoto, as well as in the United States. Nakamura's work in spreading awareness and appreciation for kintsugi has garnered international recognition.[2]
In addition to his artistic achievements, Nakamura has made significant contributions to the cultural landscape. He has been invited to give gallery talks at renowned institutions such as the Bridgestone Museum (now Artizon Museum), Yamatane Museum, Bunkamura The Museum, Kyoto Cultural Museum, and Abeno Harukas Art Museum. These opportunities have allowed him to share his deep knowledge of modern and contemporary art history with a wide audience.
Nakamura's influence extends beyond the art world. He has collaborated with filmmakers, appearing in movies such as "Kintsugi," which screened at prestigious international film festivals like the Damer International Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival. Additionally, he was featured in the documentary film "My Invincible Compass" (2019) directed by Matt Miller, which explores the lives of children in foster care. His commitment to storytelling through various mediums has culminated in the publication of the illustrated book "My Invincible Compass," which showcases the theme of kintsugi.
Recognizing the importance of passing on traditional skills, Nakamura co-founded the "Kintsugi Academy" in Los Angeles in 2019, in collaboration with American painter Makoto Fujimura.[3] The academy serves as a platform for promoting and sharing the art of kintsugi through exhibitions and workshops, not only in the United States but also in the world.
Nakamura's contributions have earned him the position of an art navigator for the upcoming Boston Museum exhibition at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in 2022. Through this role, he will continue to provide valuable insights into the world of art.[4]
Kunio Nakamura's artistic journey, spanning various mediums and cultural contributions, has solidified his reputation as an influential artist and cultural ambassador. With a deep appreciation for both traditional and contemporary art forms, Nakamura continues to inspire audiences worldwide with his unique artistic vision and unwavering passion for creativity.
