Hiroshi Senju is a Japanese born painter. He uses materials such as minerals, seashells and coral in a medium of animal-hide glue and applies his paint to Japanese mulberry paper. He's known worldwide for his amazing waterfall and cliff paintings, often monumental.
Senju was the first Asian artist to receive an honourable mention award at the Venice Biennale (1995) and has participated in the exhibitions around the world. He was the art director of the new Haneda Airport Terminal in Tokyo, where he completed one of his largest installations.
In 2009, an Italian fine art publisher Skira released the monograph Hiroshi Senju; a richly illustrated compendium of the artist's work since the 80's.
