Do you believe I can fix my life someday?
Will I be a better person in the future?
Hiroshi Shafer was born in Tokyo. His grandfather was a secret agent for the Japanese Air Force. He tried to force Shafer to become an air force pilot, but he has become a smart artist instead and moved to NYC.
Seven years ago he became a kindergarten art teacher, where he learned how to make his own representations of the secret emotions of children. It wasn’t surprising that this would change him. Shafer became a secret detective of soft and misty people.
He loves to explore the new and unknown world of familiar surfaces and pink atmospheres.
“Written for his fourth solo show in Tokyo, 2009”
Hiroshi lost/gave up his studio in May 2011. But he forgot to say goodbye to her. He soon realized this was not a polite thing to do to his sweet studio.
He was sing for her in my performance “BEYOND FAREWELL”
