Painting for Joy – New Japanese Painting in the 1990′s
Posted by Zeb in Anime & Manga, Events on Apr 2nd, 2007 | 1 commentCurrently at the Pataka Museum in Porirua, there is an exhibition of Japanese artwork featuring strongly manga/pop art influenced work, from the 1990′s onwards called Painting for Joy – New Japanese Painting in the 1990′s.
It features the paintings of nine contemporary Japanese artists, including internationally acclaimed artists Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara.
Definitely worth checking out if you’re near the area.
There is also an interesting interview with Simon Morse, a local illustrator in Wellington on the exhibition on Radio NZ that can be listened to here.
If you do get a chance to go (it ends on the 18th of April) please do share photos and feedback

Bummer I won’t be in Wellington till the 19th of April. Bit OT but I am planning on seeing the Egyptian exhibition at Te Papa.
