Biography from Christie's Hong Kong
Born in 1928, Domoto Hisao was a member of the highly influential family in the art scene in Kyoto, Japan. His uncle Domoto Insho was a master of Japanese painting (nihonga), and naturally, he was accordingly well-versed in traditional art, and his creations elicited glittering acclaim at Japan Fine Arts Exhibition (Niten) and garnered much attention. However, the atmosphere of Kyoto, dominated by its conservative authorities, made him feel restrictive. He yearned for greater freedom of expression, and so succumbed to the allure of the new world of post-war France’s brimming creative force.
In 1955, Domoto Hisao’s dream was to go to Paris to embark on the study of oil painting, though, as he well knew, this was a completely different artistic realm from Japanese painting. Oil’s unique materiality and rich colours entranced him, and his paintings of this period exhibit a bounteous experimental enthusiasm. Toshimitsu Imai introduced him to Michel Tapié, who became an admirer of his work. A rising star in the Art Informel school in Paris, Hisao not only held a successful solo exhibition in 1957 at Galerie Stadler, but in 1958, and in 1959 respectively received First Prize in des Jeunes Artistes étrangers and the Lissone International Art Exhibition Award in Italy, all of which gradually brought him recognition in Europe.
