Shinichi Maruyama was born in Nagano, Japan. Graduated in 1991 from Chiba University and moved to New York in 2003 and began work on what would become his ‘Kusho’ series. It is a stunning abstract collection made with sumi calligraphy ink flying in mid-air. The images saw much success and positive review in Paris Photo, Art Basel in Switzerland, and the New York Armory Show and led him hold a show at Bruce Silverstein Gallery in New York.


The water sculpture series is another demonstration of high speed photography by Shinichi Maruyama – freezing time to capture the perfect form of liquid motion.
