SHINGO YAMAZAKI

BIOGRAPHY

Shingo Yamazaki is a Honolulu-born artist whose practice explores the intersections of cultural hybridity, personal identity, and the evolving concept of home. Drawing from his Korean and Japanese American heritage, Yamazaki weaves intimate domestic scenes with the broader iconography of Hawaiian life, creating works that reflect on memory, belonging, and the quiet complexities of everyday existence.

Through his layered compositions, Yamazaki transforms familiar interiors and landscapes into spaces of reflection—offering a poetic lens on how cultural environments shape our sense of self and community.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Painting from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Yamazaki’s work has been exhibited at Sow & Tailor (Los Angeles), Steven Zevitas Gallery (Boston), and Richard Heller Gallery (Los Angeles), among others. He is a recipient of the Innovate Grant, a finalist for the Hopper Prize, and the First Place Award winner of the Association of Hawai‘i Artists “Aloha Show.” His work has been featured in Flux Magazine (Issue 45), New American Paintings (Issue 163), BOOOOOOOM – Tomorrow’s Talent Vol. II, and Friend of the Artist Vol. 13.
