Reborn-Art Festival

Born in Tokyo in 1963 and now based in Milan. After graduating from Tama Art University, Hirose went to Italy as an Italian government scholarship student. Finished Accademia di Brera in Milan. Stayed in New York funded by the agency of cultural affairs program of overseas study. Since the early 1990s, he has participated in many exhibitions around the world, such as Japan, Asia and Europe, while based in Italy. As he became aware of the truest sense of happiness in life and richness of diversity through his life in Italy and trips through different cultures, he has unfolded works that will appeal strongly to the viewer’s five senses based on his experience and affairs he comes across in daily life. In 2020, he gave a large-scale solo exhibition for the first time in Japan at Arts Maebashi, and his installation with 30,000 lemons had a marked impact. Furthermore, after the exhibition, he reused the lemons and generated paper and soap in collaboration with local people. In this way he takes part in art projects that involve circulation.
