MORIMOTO moved to Canada at the age of 16 and has exhibited his oil paintings outside of Japan, mostly in Canada. Since 2021, he has been based in both Tokyo and Canada. Using dramatic light and classical techniques, he transforms mundane, ordinary cityscapes into dramatic worlds in his landscapes and portraits. By focusing on everyday subjects such as vending machines, fast food restaurants, and parking lots, Morimoto questions the structural fragility and ethical norms of contemporary life.
