The Happy Carp: New Japanese Works in Durham

24 October 2013 @ 10:00 am - 30 March 2014 @ 5:00 pm

‘The Happy Carp’ takes its name from a woodblock print by the UK-based Japanese printmaker, Nana Shiomi. The exhibition will showcase works acquired by the Durham University’s Oriental Museum with the support of the Art Fund’s RENEW programme. Visitors will have an opportunity to see the best in contemporary Japanese print-making and to gain an understanding of the techniques used by modern artists working in this most traditional of Japanese media.

The exhibition is a celebration of the endless flexibility and innovative power of Japanese art and will highlight the influence of Japanese printmaking not only on western art but also – through the medium of manga – on both Japanese and British youth culture.
