In his pictures, Hijiya develops a form of still life of the soul: not a naturalistic image, but a condensation of perception and memory.

Shuji Hijiya - Painting, Drawing from Japan
16.05.2026 - 21.06.2026
Shuji Hijiya (1942-2018) was a Japanese painter who spent most of his life in Germany. After his first exhibitions in the 1970s, he withdrew from the art world to continue working in complete seclusion. Many of his works remained unseen until his death - paintings that are only now coming to light, decades after they were created.
The painter, born in 1942 in Japanese-occupied China, initially studied sociology in Tokyo before moving to Vienna and later to Germany. In Ostholstein and Berlin, he spent decades developing an independent, Western-influenced visual language. At the same time, his painting remained imbued with a Far Eastern sense of emptiness, time and transience.
The exhibition invites visitors to discover this work. In his paintings, Hijiya develops a form of still life of the soul: not a naturalistic depiction, but a condensation of perception and memory.
