Christian Hidaka
Biography
Born in 1977 in Noda (Japan). Lives and works in London (United Kingdom) .
Christian Hidaka is a painter who renews the genre of landscape. Christian Hidaka's works draw from a thousand different sources: Japanese landscapes, science fiction, psychedelic, surrealism, Renaissance painting... From his works emerge a poetry, an invitation to travel towards irrational and fantasized universes.
Fusing distant cultural traditions, he most notably combines Western chiaroscuro with the oblique perspective of East Asian art.

His work is included in the collections of MUDAM (Luxembourg) ; Centre national des arts plastiques (Paris) ; Israel Museum (Jerusalem) ; Nouveau Musée National de Monaco. Frederick R. Weisman Collection (Los Angeles) ; Saatchi Gallery (London) ; UBS Collection (London) ; Goss Michael Foundation Collection (Dallas) ; Scorpio Trust (Geneva) ; Cranford Collection (London) ; FRAC Corse (Corte) ; FRAC Pays de la Loire (Carquefou), among others.
