"This was one of the old stencils I did in 2006. I used to sneak into Beacon Park Yard in Allston and made a few compositions from those visits. Coming from an engineering background, trains--and anything made out of steel--are always my favorite things. I love trainyards. Beacon Park Yard has finished its operation and now it's an empty yard. Unfortunately yet another landmark disappeared from our town." - Kenji Nakayama 

Kenji Nakayama is an artist originally from Hokkaido, Japan. Formerly working as an engineer in Japan, Kenji made a significant life change in 2004 with a move to Boston, Massachusetts to study the antiquated art of sign painting and to dedicate his time and energy to art-making. Kenji's diverse practice ranges from careful pinstriping and hand painted lettering to hand-cut, multi-layered stencil paintings. His body of work serves as a personal diary of experience and influence, and his process can be described as a balance between meditation and highly-trained craftsmanship. Music, solitude, humor, motorcycles, and urban decay serve as direct sources of inspiration. He currently lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts.
