Gentaro Masuda (1994-) is a Japanese painter living in Berlin. He has rapidly developed his career as a painter, participating in art fairs and group exhibitions in Germany, beginning with his first solo exhibition in April 2022 in Kreuzberg, Berlin. His works depict the physical and psychological effects on people under social transitions and the metabolism of civilization from a neutral perspective. He uses many motifs from 20th-century Japanese and German archives, photography, and popular culture. Through his reconstruction of memory and record on painting, he explores the cause and effect of unconscious values that bind our actions that remain today.
