Makoto Fujimura

“Re-membrance” | September - October 30

High Line Nine is honored to present “Re-membrance”, a monumental solo exhibition by Makoto Fujimura. Fujimura is an American-born artist of Japanese roots whose refractive surfaces using the traditional Nihonga (Japanese style painting) materials, fused with space-age materials form a uniquely contemporary expression. Fujimura is a leading figure in the “slow art” movement, with his work being described by David Brooks of the New York Times as “a small rebellion against the quickening of time”.

In this “Re-membrance” exhibit, Fujimura presents three new major works of transcendent beauty created out of traumas of our times: the 9/11 terrorist attacks (marking its 20 year anniversary this September), the 3/11/2011 Great Tohoku earthquake, tsunami and ongoing nuclear meltdown, and the Columbine High School massacre in 1999.
