JOJI NAKAMURA at Untitled 2025
December 2nd to December 7th
Miami Beach

The Fridge is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Joji Nakamura.

Nakamura’s practice moves between recognizable figures and abstract forms. Recurring motifs and soft, cloud-like color shifts define his language. His imagery emerges instinctively from the gestures he has developed over the past 15 years. The paintings follow a consistent format shaped by his ongoing process. Through his daily, almost ritual practice, he introduces new elements while keeping a clear continuity in his work.

 

 

 

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1974, Joji Nakamura currently lives and works in Yokohama, Japan. Joji Nakamura paints with his hands using acrylic, gesso, graphite and ink on canvas. His extruded faces are instantly recognizable. Nakamura’s dynamic strokes transform into his own rendition of a classic portrait, a figure painting or a surreal landscape created with his body. He has held exhibitions in Paris, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Japan and the US. For the past few years, Nakamura added colors to the monotone repertoire paintings of his early years, presenting portraits in soft blotchy hues. Past recent shows include Kaplan Projects in Mallorca, Zieher Smith in Nashville, Galerie Mikiko Fabiani in Paris, Scooters For Peace in Tokyo and The Fridge in New York.
