LONDON.- Still hard at work well into his late 70s, Japanese photographer Kishin Shinoyama’s images have lost none of the potency that would make his 1960’s nude studies so revered and sensationalized in equal measure. Michael Hoppen Contemporary announced the first exhibition of his work in the UK, which will focus on his most iconic series – Birth, Twin, Death Valley, Brown Lilly and Phantom, as well as studies of a dancer, also from the 1960s. Shinoyama was born in Tokyo in 1940 and at the age of three underwent ordination rites to become a Buddhist priest.
