Biography: 
1951 Born in Osaka (JP)
Yasumasa Morimura studied at the Kyoto City University of Art. Since his first exhibition in Kyoto in 1983,he has been widely acclaimed for his computerized photography of his own image superimposed upon commercial figures such as Michael Jackson and Madonna. Through exhibitions including "Zones of Love: Contemporary Art from Japan," a traveling exhibition across Australia in 1991, and "Japanese Art after 1945: Scream Against the Sky" in 1994, Morimura has achieved recognition as an outstanding Japanese artist. Also in 1994, "Yasumasa Morimura: Rembrandt Room" and 2001,"Morimura Self-Portraits: An Inner Dialogue with Frida Kahlo" was exhibited at the Hara Museum.
