AND COLLECTION Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the
We are pleased to present Keiichi Nitta's solo exhibition "Shit Happens."

This solo exhibition places emphasis on living with strength and maintaining a strong spirit that is not easily swayed by the various events that occur in everyday life.

This exhibition features portraits of the versatile actor Yusuke Iseya, shot in Izu. Keiichi Nitta was captivated by Iseya's personality and his way of being as an actor, leading to the collaboration in this exhibition. The exhibition will showcase a number of vibrant collaborative works by the two creative minds, photographer and actor.

The transitions of color that Keiichi Nitta expresses resonate with the emotions of his subjects, evoking the passage of time and mood. He brings out a variety of expressions, from cheerful smiles to dignified gazes to emotional profiles, and captures the fleeting brilliance that unfolds across these continuous depictions.
The personalities that exude from his subjects are made up of Keiichi Nitta's empathetic intelligence, as well as the perspective and sense of distance he has acquired from capturing a wide variety of scenes.

The photographs, which weave unadorned and dynamic compositions even in the unpredictable natural world, seem to offer clues to how we can live strong and honest lives as we go about our daily lives.

By not being afraid of the occasional feelings of resentment that arise, and by loving and nurturing the emotions that arise spontaneously, you will be able to build unshakable beliefs as a human being.
