Presented by Gallery 27, <KAZUMASA NAGAI: FROM NOW TO ETERNITY> retrospective showcase will take place from 30 September to 12 October 2022 at K11 MUSEA. This is Kazumasa Nagai’s first retrospective in Hong Kong, showcasing with over 100 selected posters and original etchings works since late 1950s.

This showcase seeks to deliver a multi-faceted narration of Nagai with a thematic display in terms of the evolution of his design language in four chapters - Lens to the World, Beyond the Horizon, Imagery of the Living World, and Friends for Life. Tracing chronologically, the four chapters trace Nagai’s transformative practice from geometric abstract form in the 1950s - 60s, and experimentation with photo collage in the 70s, to figurative illustrations that he ceaselessly practices till today.
