Provenance: Garner Tullis Workshop
Shingo Francis is a painter, drawer and photographer who employs a minimal and abstract approach in his work, exploring color, time and space. This was done at Garner Tullis workshop. Francis was born in Santa Monica, California in 1969. At the age of three he moved to Japan with his Japanese mother, and went to an international school in Tokyo until the age of thirteen. He subsequently moved back to California to live with his father, the Abstract Expressionist artist Sam Francis during the academic year, spending the summer and winter breaks in Tokyo. Francis received degree Bachelor of Arts degree in 1992 from Pitzer College in Claremont, California. In 2001, he moved his studio from Los Angeles to Japan where he contemplated and immersed himself in its traditional and popular culture. Francis currently lives and works in New York City and Yokohama, Japan. Shingo Francis grew up in Los Angeles, immersed in the intense light and vast ocean vistas of life in southern California. Like many LA artists, Francis became fascinated with the ever-changing qualities of light and how it affected one’s perception and experience of the world. As the son of painter Sam Francis, Shingo also happened to grow up in the heart of LA’s nascent artworld, where artists such as Larry Bell, Robert Irwin, James Turrell, Craig Kauffman and Peter Alexander were utilizing new materials to explore the phenomenology of how we perceive. These pursuits became loosely known as California’s Light and Space movement (John McCracken, Bruce Nauman, Eric Orr, James Turrell). This work bears stylistic similarities to Anish Kapoor and Joe Novak. Selected exhibitions: in 1993 and 1994, several group exhibitions at the renown Minna Street Gallery (San Francisco); in 1999, a solo exhibition “Generations” at the Galerie Kornfeld (Bern, Switzerland); in 2004, a solo exhibition “Blue’s Silence” at the Hino Gallery (Tokyo); in 2006, a solo exhibition “Blue’s in Light” at the Galerie Paris (Yokohama); in 2007, a group exhibition “Art x Dance” at the Art Forum Festival (Yokohama); and in 2010, a three-person exhibition “Across Dimensions” at the ISE Cultural Foundation (New York). Francis was awarded the Fumio Nanjo Award at Spiral, Tokyo in 2003. In 2008 he was selected as a Solo Project artist by Tsutomu Mizusawa for ARCO 08 in Madrid, Spain, and has been invited as an artist-in-residence at Art Omi in upstate New York and Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, California. In 2010, Francis created an outdoor installation for KKprojects in New Orleans; working as an artist-in- residence for Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Swing Space Program at Governors Island; installing a site-specific art project for Casa del Mar hotel in Santa Monica, California; and participating in his first exhibition in Seoul, Korea at Taekwung Industries.
