Artist. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture. In 2001, Hogalee completed an MA in Design at Tokyo University of the Arts. Adopting the motif of women, which act as a mirror reflecting the contemporary age, he continues to create “onnanoko” (Girls) symbolized in manga line drawings. His activities include making canvas paintings that reference contemporary art contexts, and murals that transcend the notion of canvas as support. In addition to using acrylic paint, he is also developing works based on the concept of “restoring to an original state,” where murals made with masking tape are peeled away to return the space to its original condition. Solo exhibitions include Entanglement (Kana Kawanishi Gallery, Tokyo, 2022), Entanglement – Shinjuku III (Shinjuku 3-chome intersection, Tokyo, 2022), and Restitution (Ikejiri Institute of Design, Tokyo, 2014). Group exhibitions include Sekai wo Utsusu (Fujisawa City Art Space, Kanagawa, 2017), Trans Arts Tokyo (Kanda, 2017), and No Man’s Land (former French Embassy, 2009).
