Fumio Nambata was the second son of painter Tatsuoki Nambata. He seemed to be on his way to a great career as a painter until his unfortunate death at age 32 in 1974. During his short lifetime, however, he created an original artistic world in his watercolors and oil paintings, based on the resonance between delicate lines and playful, expansive colors, that reflected the times in which he lived. This show features his poetic paintings that still retain their mysterious appeal.
