Keiji Shinohara

Keiji Shinohara trained for ten years in Japan in the traditional Japanese woodblock printing style known as ukiyo-e, yet his contemporary landscape imagery is very different from historical ukiyo-e traditions. The landscapes are abstracted and express the essence of place rather than realistic accuracy. Shinohara has exhibited worldwide and teaches woodblock printing at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. His work is in many museum, corporate, and private collections throughout the globe, including the British Library, London; the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, San Francisco; the Cleveland Museum of Art; Library of Congress; the Milwaukee Art Museum; and the Yale University Art Museum.
