Tomokazu Matsuyama (b. 1976, Gifu, Japan) is a Brooklyn-based artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation, blending and reimagining visual languages across eras and culture—ancient and contemporary, figurative and abstract, Eastern and Western—to examine identity within today’s information-driven world. Recent solo exhibitions include Morning Sun at the Edward Hopper House Museum (Nyack, NY, USA, 2025), Liberation Back Home at the SCAD Museum of Art (Savannah, GA, USA, 2025), and FIRST LAST at Azabudai Hills Gallery (Tokyo, Japan, 2025). His works are held in prominent private and institutional collections globally, and most recently, his monumental installation You, One Me Erase entered the collection of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (Bentonville, AR, USA).
