Shinya Aota

An artist whose practice involves sanding down the surfaces and forms of everyday objects, mass-produced items, and spaces. By stripping away their familiar layers and information, the work challenges viewers to reconsider the essence and value of these items. Notable exhibitions include Everyday/Off the Record (Kanagawa Arts Theatre, 2014), MOT Annual 2014 (Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo), Solo Exhibition (Aoyama | Meguro, 2014), Shinya Aota: Forms of Empathy (Breaker Project, 2018), and Aichi Art Chronicle 1919–2019 (Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, 2019). The artist also serves as Co-Director for an art program in the Nagoya Port area.
