ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Hiroaki Shioya was born in Shizuoka Japan in 1953.
He graduated from the Japan Design School with a focus in Business Design in 1974. After graduation, he gained work at an advertisement agency. In 1980, he started working as a freelance artist.
Shioya has created art for calendars, packaging and jigsaw puzzles. Also for Tokyo Disney, he designed a “Grand Opening” poster, commemorating the 5th anniversary of Tokyo Disneyland.
Shioya has always been fascinated with American cars from the 50’s and 60’s. Also, everyday objects and views of the countryside have been fascinating to Hiroaki. These things that possess a gentle nature must be loved to stimulate his creativity, and he believes they represent the human spirit.
Another reason why Shioya is fascinated with the American countryside is due to some of the movies and TV Shows that he watched as a child. They were always so different from Japanese movies, and it made a strong impression on him.
