He combines finely ground pigments derived from natural materials in a medium of animal-hide glue, then applies this "paint" to handmade rice paper mounted on board. Senju is the first Asian artist to receive an individual fine arts award at the Venice Biennale for his acclaimed Waterfall paintings in 1995. Museums that collect his work include the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, California, and The Museum of Modern Art, Toyama, Japan. |
