Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1955. Nomata graduated from the Department of Design, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 1979, and held his first solo exhibition at Sagacho Exhibit Space in 1986. He paints buildings and landscapes that, although rendered precisely and with a sense of reality, leave unspecified for what purpose and for whom they exist. They look like the remains of the ancient past, or like a civilization of the future, and no era or cultural background is depicted within the paintings. It is a typology of imaginary architecture that defines nothing and does not refuse free interpretation.
