Atsuo Okamoto
Atsuo Okamoto was born in Hiroshima in 1951. After finishing a graduate course in sculpture at Tama Art University in 1977, Okamoto won the Teijiro Nakahara Prize and the Henry Moore Prize. He then went on to exhibit widely domestically and abroad, participating in symposia, and collaborated with Yuji Noda in 2005 in the 21st Contemporary Japanese Sculpture Exhibition and won the Mainichi Shimbun Prize. He is one of Japan's most active and representative modern sculptors.
Up until now, Okamoto has worked mostly with granite as a material to create organic works. This exhibition, however, features stone works that have been riddled with man-made holes, like a chunk of punching metal that seems to recall concrete human figures in crouching positions. This is an exhibition of new works, the first in two years to be held in Tokyo, on display in two venues in Kyobashi, Tokyo, representing a new creative challenge and development in Okamoto's career.
