Biography[編集]
Chihiro ITO was born in Japan. At age 0, he started painting with his parents who were sculptors using a paper and paints on the dark wooden floor of their tiny kitchen and bedroom in Tokyo. His entire childhood and teenage years were totally focused on his dreams to become an Artist and a boxer.
While he never fulfilled the later, after years of toil he cultivated his own unique style of painting and proudly graduated from Musashino Art University in 2004. That same year, Ito’s first solo exhibition was held in Tokyo. Since then, his art has been exhibited at least 10 times a year.
In 2012, he was the only Japanese painter invited to the European Capital of Culture in Portugal for his art activity include exhibitions and performances.These experiences were very challenging due to complex sociopolitics but they were also wonderful global experiences for him. In the same year, he was invited to Serbia for a solo exhibition and painting performances.
Since 2014, he had contributed to Tokyo, Asagaya Art Streets as artist and the art director. He was involved with Japanese poets such as Shuntaro Tanikawa, Kensaku Tanikawa and representative artists of Japanese experimental theater in the 1970s such as Ryoichi Enomoto and Sakumi Hagiwara. In 2017, he was invited to perform a painting performance in the buffer zone of the Cyprus where the European Capital of Culture was held.
In 2018, Chihiro Ito traveled to New York City with a grant from the Japanese government. There, he encountered Jonas Mekas and began to focus more on video and poetry production. His films have been honored with more than 30 film awards. He also held a solo exhibition at Haco Gallery and read poetry at an event at the Queens Museum. Ito has been strongly influenced by Fluxus, the avant-garde art movement that originated in New York in the 1960s. At times when he felt lost in his artistic activities in spite of his many exhibitions, Fluxus art helped Ito to regain his purpose. Ito continues to research Fluxus in New York.
