Tomokazu Matsuyama at Edward Hopper House
The exhibition runs until October 5, 2025. Explore the inspiration and process behind its centrepiece, now translated into limited edition print, below.
Tomokazu Matsuyama's first exhibition at Edward Hopper House offers a contemporary tribute to Edward Hopper’s iconic 1952 painting Morning Sun, delving into the complexities of solitude and life in a globalised, consumer-driven world.
The exhibition centres on Matsuyama's large-scale painting Morning Sun Dance, which has now been translated into a limited edition print, complete with a bespoke frame inspired by the architectural structure of Edward Hopper House. Of the work that inspired his painting, Matsu says, “While Hopper’s Morning Sun captures a moment of introspective stillness within the psychological landscape of mid-century urban life, his treatment of solitude, light, and constructed space continues to influence my own approach to thinking about isolation as well as my approach to painting.”
