Nobu Haihara is a multi-talented artist known for his super-realist images of giant Martinis and shakers, scotch bottles and glasses brimming with color and reflectivity. He is an accomplished landscape painter, portrait artist, super-realist and graphic artist as well. But his energy and ideas keep him constantly active and evolving as a painter.

In school Nobu Naihara eagerly studied both classical and modern art, and set out to master them both. After graduating from Hiroshima Economic University, Nobu immigrated to the United States in 1986.

obu continued developing a distinct and personalized style of his own. Painting in both acrylic and oil paints – as well as developing his skills as a sculptor and photographer – Nobu applied his new knowledge and techniques to producing his own cutting-edge modernist images that explore the boundaries between commercial and fine arts.

Nobu today is stretching the envelope again with his super-realist images of giant Martini’s and shakers, scotch bottles and glasses brimming with color and reflectivity. His crystal cut-glass images dazzle us with their realism and depth of field. His compositions are balanced and yet fluid. Dynamic perspectives are used to capture our attention and imagination.

Nobu now has his work in the personal collections of President George W. Bush; Laker owner Jerry Buss and Hall-of-famers Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Jerry West, Jamaal Wilkes and the late Chick Hearn. He has been commissioned by Mao Daichi, Japan’s leading musical star; and by NBC and the FOX Network which have used his artwork in set-designs for “Ally McBeal” and ”3rd Rock From The Sun”. Nobu has been honored with Exhibitions in New York, Sausalito, Beverly Hills, Hiroshima, Yamanashi and Fukuoaka, Japan.
