-Shift and Development with Line- 80's
Kiyoshi Hamada has announced an extremely high-quality work one after another in the contemporary art.
He is known well as a high quality painter, from his works being put in a lot of museums as the public collection. He has a lot of influences on the art field by it and has been supported deep-rooted by a part of art fans and collectors.
But also it is true that there is few chances to touch personally with his works except a part of art fans and collectors. It is different from other artists who catch the wave of the boom.

This time, -DOKA Contemporary Atrs- collected and introduce the works of 80's, by the concept of "Shift to the expression by the line and development afterwards", to look back on tracks of Kiyoshi Hamada with him.

For Kiyoshi Hamada, who is continuing to grope for the point of contact of his own world and the society, the painting is the only one way to explain his sense which cannot be explain by words.
Please expect that the transparent feeling that Kiyoshi Hamada draws harmonizes with "Air" of the place and it is going to give the former fans the new fresh feeling in this exhibition.
