Minoru Nomata Lithographs 1988–1998

White Cube presents an online exhibition of hand-coloured lithographs by the Tokyo-based artist Minoru Nomata. Completed between 1988 and 1998, these works began as monochrome prints, to which the artist was drawn to return years later. Inspired by his affection for hand-coloured photography, Nomata began applying thin washes of acrylic pigment to certain prints, finding that hand-colouring provided a way to regain a sense of control, bringing the result more fully into his own hands and transforming each print into a unique artwork.
