Special Exhibition
Adrian Berg: The Infinite Garden

2026.1.24(Sat) — 4.12(Sun)

Adrian Berg, Sheffield Park Autumn 1985－86 (detail), 1985-86

The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to present “Adrian Berg: The Infinite Garden,” the first solo exhibition in Japan showcasing the works of Adrian Berg (1929-2011). Berg consistently pursued landscape painting throughout his career and is particularly known for his repeated depictions of Regent’s Park in London, where he maintained his studio for around 20 years from the 1960s. His unique style of weaving multiple spatial expressions and different timelines into a single canvas later evolved further as his subjects expanded to include gardens across Britain and landscapes encountered on his travels.
The title of this exhibition, “Infinite Garden,” expresses both Berg’s continued painterly exploration of the theme of gardens and the very essence of nature depicted therein—a nature that transforms ceaselessly with the weather, the position of the sun, and the changing seasons. This exhibition is the first in Japan to survey Berg’s artistic career spanning approximately 50 years, featuring works from his early period to his later years alongside a wealth of related materials.

Adrian Berg（1929-2011）
Adrian Berg (b.1929, London) majored in English at university and subsequently earned a degree in education, before pursuing his studies in art and graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1961. His work was first fully introduced in Japan in 1982 at the “Aspects of British Art Today” exhibition, which toured the country and showcased various trends in contemporary British art. Throughout his career he continued to focus primarily on landscape paintings, establishing a unique style, free from the constraints of traditional perspective and colour theory.
