NAGAI KENJI
Lithography
Nagai Kenji’s lithographs are remarkably three dimensional, prompting many a viewer to believe they are collages, even upon a closer look. Graduating from Musashino Art University as an oil painter, he later became fascinated by prints and began specializing in lithography. His earlier life as a painter shows in his sprightly handling of tuche.
