Tojo Shinnosuke was born in Nagano in 1978 and currently lives and bases in Kanagawa, Japan. In 2004, Tojo received B.F.A from Tokyo Zokei University. Tojo has won several art prizes in Japan such as Grand-Prix of VOCA Art Award (2019) and Spiral Independent Creators Festival (2018). His works have been exhibited in galleries nationwide, including exhibitions at Koumimachi Kogen Museum of Art, 53 Museum, and Ueno Royal Museum. Tojo makes three-dimensional paintings with scratches on a thin steel plate to bring back images or landscapes of mind to real life which he saw with synesthetic sense to real life. Those images never get fixed since they look different all the time with lighting conditions, but that's the way he sees them. Sharing those moments with visitors will be evidence that he is alive and leaves a trace of life behind.
