Nishinaka’s commercial portfolio includes Bloomingdale’s Galleries Lafayette, Sprint, The Peninsula Hotel, Visa, Penn State University, Paramount Pictures and Coca Cola, among others. Actor Jackie Chan, who is a close friend of the artist, own the largest collection of Nishinaka’s work. Nishinaka began working in paper quite by accident.
“I have always wanted to be a painter, but while studying illustration at Art Center, I was given assignments in both a graphic design and fashion drawing class at the same time to experiment in different mediums, one of the them being paper. That was my ”Ah-hal’ moment. I quickly developed a feel for working with paper. From then on, i began experimenting with different papers, finding ways to shape, bend and round edges on it. I wanted to manipulate paper in the least invasive way, to keep the integrity and feel of it. Paper to me is a living, breathing thing that has a life of it’s own. I just try to redirect that energy into something that feels animated and alive.”
