Lucian Moriyama (Honolulu, 1991) is an artist and musician. His works explore the dream world of exotica and elsewheres, spanning from songs of longing, steel guitar, and ‘country gone wrong’ to sound installations and sculptures.
His sculptures and bas-reliefs appropriate scagliola, a fake marble technique which was widely used in World’s Fairs, baroque palaces, and cabarets, evoking the interplay between real and fiction, the ideal and its tragic double.
He was awarded the Prix du Tricentenaire by the Académie des sciences, lettres, et arts de Marseille in 2023. He studied at the University of Glasgow and the Beaux-Arts de Marseille and has presented his works at Manifesta 13, the New York Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, the Fondation Fiminco, Art-O-Rama, and Bergdorf Goodman. He has been a resident at the Boghossian Foundation, the Villa Filanda Antonini, and the Collection Lambert.

Lucian Moriyama (Honolulu, 1991) est un artiste et musicien. Ses œuvres explorent le monde onirique de l’exotica et des ailleurs, allant des chansons du désir, de la steel guitar et du « country gone wrong » aux installations sonores et sculptures.
Ses sculptures et bas-reliefs s'approprient la scagliola, une technique de faux marbre qui était largement utilisée dans les expositions universelles, les palais baroques et les cabarets, évoquant l’interaction entre le réel et la fiction, l’idéal et son double tragique.
