Biography

Hachiro Kanno is a Japanese painter who works and lives in Paris, France.

He was born in Tochigi-Ken, in Japan, in 1944. Drawn to western culture, he arrived in France in 1968 to complete his studies at the Paris School of Fine Arts. In 1979, he moved into the Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre and has been there ever since. Coming from a long line of traditional calligraphers and raised in the Shinto religion, Kanno transposes timeless themes into abstract, in a more up-to-date and universal way organized around the positive and the negative. There are more than 130 solo exhibitions to his credit, mainly in Europe, the US and Japan.
