Detail: The gallery is excited to present Facebook, a solo exhibition by Egami Etsu. This will be the artist’s first exhibition in the United States. Born in Japan in 1994, Egami spent many of her childhood years in the United States and Europe and has noted that even when she was in high school she was fascinated by Japanese masters of Western style painting (Yoga) such as Ryusei Kishida who looked to Europe for inspiration in contrast to the inward-looking Nihonga artists. In 2012 she moved to Beijing and studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2016. The following year she moved to Germany where she studied media art at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. She subsequently returned to CAFA, receiving her M.F.A. in 2019.
