Opening tonight at Asia Society Texas in Houston, Yosh*taka Amano: Big Bang is a far-reaching survey of the artist’s work. The exhibition opens to the public today, September 23, with a celebratory reception at 6 p.m., and remains on view through February 7, 2027. Featuring approximately 40 works in oil paint, ink, and automotive paint, the exhibition brings together monumental paintings that explode with Amano’s signature, dreamlike visions of figures inhabiting fantastic, intricate, and intense environments.
Curated by Owen Duffy, the exhibition follows Amano’s two-part presentation at The Warehouse, Dallas, curated by Thomas Feulmer, which ran from April 11 through July 18, 2026.
Amano will also open Origins 始源 at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York this Saturday, September 26. Curated by Noa Wesley, his first institutional solo exhibition in New York will remain on view through February 7, 2027.
