Flashbacks of Your Adolescence

Truth and fiction, figuration and abstraction: it all runs together in Shimon Kamada’s work. His paintings tell a story of melancholic, lonely or embarrassing experiences. They give viewers a sense of nostalgia and sympathy in their narrative space. The things portrayed seem so familiar, but are shaken up in the context of time and memory. Kamada’s surreal approach creates mystery, his Japanese background evokes unexpected interpretations in his Western audience.

Shimon Kamada was selected by EXboot in 2020 to participate in HKU Vers, following the postponed physical final exhibitions of HKU Fine Art in September 2020. Due to the lockdown, the Kamada exhibition can now be seen during the month of June.
