Born in Japan / Lives and works in New York and Kobe, Japan
Zai Nomura was born and grew up in Kobe-city, west side of Japan, and has been working between Kobe and New York since 2020. Nomura received his Ph.D. in Fine Arts from Musashino University in Tokyo in 2013, and his MFA from Goldsmiths, the University of London in 2009. While living in Hyogo, he experienced the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995 and lost family members during the time of disaster. Following this, Nomura began to question his relationship with art and interrogate what he aims to establish and represent in the imagery and function of art. From 2019 through 2021, Nomura received a grant from the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs and participated in the artist in residency program at ISCP (International Studio and Curatorial Program), Brooklyn, NY.
