Interview with Keita Miyazaki

Interview with Keita Miyazaki
rosenfeld porcini 

30-year-old artist, Keita Miyazaki, was born in Tokyo and, after studying at the University of the Arts, came to London in 2011 for a three year course at the Royal College.

That same year, Japan was hit by a major tsunami causing widespread mayhem and destruction – and 18,000 fatalities.


In his recent work –  on show here at the rosenfeld porcini gallery in London – Miyazaki responds directly to this national tragedy, seeking to create art out of waste and rubble as monuments to the lost – and to suggest an optimism for the future.

Review of The Birth of Cinema… and Beyond: An Exhibition of Painting and Video at rosenfeld porcini

The Birth of Cinema… and Beyond
An Exhibition of Painting and Video
rosenfeld porcini
3 July – 21 September 2013

Before the invention of cinema in the 19th century, visual art was one of the primary means for storytelling, alongside oral and written traditions. When Christians entered a church and saw a painting recounting a Biblical episode, they knew the narrative surrounding it so well that they could virtually see the action unfolding in their mind’s eye; similarly, Old Master paintings of Greek and Roman myths could easily conjure up vivid and dramatic denouements in the imaginations of their educated viewers. As the third of their annual themed exhibitions, Fitzrovia art gallery rosenfeld porcini, whose partner gallery, Galleria Napolinobilissima in Italy, regularly shows Old Master works, brings together newly commissioned works by seven contemporary artists and, for the first time, works from the directors’ collections by ten Old Masters, looking at the tradition of narrative artwork, both prior to and since the birth of cinema.
