Isamu Wakabayashi
Until his untimely death one year ago, Wakabayashi was one of the most important contemporary sculptors in Japan. He is known for highly intelligent work, based on a deep appreciation of nature, constructed with such materials as steel, copper, and lead.
Wakabayashi is famous as a sculptor, but he has also made a considerable number of prints, over 700 during his lifetime. He has invented original techniques, unlike those of ordinary printmakers, for example, adding color to finished prints and making them into entirely different works. His prints go beyond the usual concepts of printmaking, showing his talents as a plastic artist.
This exhibition will fully reveal his fascinating work by presenting his major prints, and small sculptures related to prints.
