Hiroshi Asada (1931–1997), set of 2 frames containing 4 drawings Dimensions: 31 cm x 31 cm and 24 cm x 71 cm Japanese printmaker Hiroshi Asada was born in Kyoto in 1931. Coming from a family of painters who practiced traditional Japanese art (Nihonga), the young man quickly abandoned this complex and restrictive technique to devote himself to oil painting in the tradition of Western masters, under the influence of Shinseisaku Kyokai. In his work, Asada explores the psychology of everyday life through still lifes imbued with surrealism.
