Profile
Enrico Isamu Oyama b.1983, Italian / Japanese
creates visual art in various mediums with Quick Turn Structure; the black and white motif composed of spontaneous repetition and expansion of free-flowing lines extracted from the visual language of aerosol writing, the core genre of contemporary street art that originates in 1970’s-80’s New York. After attending MFA at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2007-09, he named the motif Quick Turn Structure, and has positioned his practice in the midst of contemporary art and street culture. Oyama stayed in New York for 6 months in 2011-2012 as a grantee of Asian Cultural Council and went on to live and work in Brooklyn during the 2010s. Oyama held solo exhibitions internationally at institutions including Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation (London), Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art (Kansas), Pola Museum of Art (Hakone), Nakamura Keith Haring Collection (Yamanashi), Tower 49 Gallery (New York), Kanagawa Prefectural Gallery (Yokohama) and Keio Museum Commons (Tokyo). Since 2020, Oyama works in 2 studios in New York and Tokyo back and forth.
