Kentaro Minoura was born in 1978 in Shizuoka. He has recently relocated from Tokyo to Yamanashi.
Minoura has always created art with close affinity to cultural forms such as manga, anime, games, films, music, and street culture. Today, he continues to produce painting work from his base in Yamanashi by freely experiencing nature and the seasons. Flowing beneath his artistic activity is the current of universal human behavior, simple yet profound, which continues to this day. Undefined by abstract or figurative, his expression rather oscillates between them in a free and unbound framework that conjures a primitive sense of the human that is beyond language or image.
His major solo exhibitions include Tsu (Gallery Trax, Yamanashi, 2024), So (Studio 35 Minutes, Tokyo 2023), and Se (parcel, Tokyo, 2022).
