Nana Shiomi
Nana Shiomi (b. 1956) is a Japanese contemporary printmaker, working with traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking techniques to explore cultural imagery and storytelling, often verging on the surreal. Experimenting with the ukiyo-e genre, Shiomi's prints often feature the motif of the tatami floor as a vast stage for incongruous imagery such as a rolling wave, floating fan, or leaping fish, creating stange, dreamlike scenes.
Shiomi studied oil painting and printmaking at Tama Art University, Tokyo, before travelling to London to study her MA in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art in 1991. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter - Printmakers and the Japan Artists Association Inc.
Nana Shiomi has been represented by Rabley Gallery since 2012, and has exhibited her prints worldwide. Her pieces are held in the public collections of the V&A Museum, Pallant House Gallery, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Royal College of Art, Wimbledon School of Art, Brunel University, Aberystwyth University, and Tama Art University.
