Former World Champion, Japanese master builder Chicara Nagata, was recently honored with an exhibition of his builds in a New York art gallery. The world renowned Ippodo Gallery brought together a collection of Chicara's bikes, including his 2006 World Championship winning and 2007 World Championship second placed bike for the gallery's display called 'Chicara Liquid Chrome'.
Nagata, who was in attendance for the opening of the show, said, "I am thrilled that Ippodo Gallery has introduced my work to a new audience. It was a treat to speak with many different kinds of people at the exhibition's opening, many of whom had never thought a motorcycle could be a piece of art."
The combination of custom motorcycles and New York gallery space provided a unique attraction, drawing not only motorcycle enthusiasts but national mainstream media including TV, fashion and general interest consumer magazines as well as art aficionados. "I am very pleased with the incredible and diverse response to Chicara's exhibition. His work reinforces Ippodo Gallery's mission to bring the best of Japanese craftsmanship, in all of its many forms, to American audiences," said Shoko Aono, Director of Ippodo Gallery.
