Exploring the Intersection of Architecture and Painting

On June 19, 2026, Tokyo Denki University will host a special FA Lecture titled "Exploring the Intersection of Architecture and Painting" featuring the esteemed contemporary artist Satoshi Uchiumi. This event promises to be an enlightening experience for those interested in the integration of visual art within architectural spaces.

Satoshi Uchiumi, born in 1977 in Ibaraki Prefecture, has made his mark as an innovative artist known for pushing the boundaries of conventional painting. After completing his graduate studies at Tama Art University in 2002, Uchiumi has gained recognition for his experimental works that break down the traditional frames of flat artworks and utilize entire spaces as canvases. His projects can be seen in various public installations at notable locations such as Toranomon Hills and the Palace Hotel Tokyo, showcasing the dynamic interplay between art and architecture.

This FA Lecture is part of a series organized by the Department of Architecture at Tokyo Denki University, under the leadership of President Tadahiko Iba.
