Ruri Takahashi
Ruri Takahashi was born in Tokyo in 1998, and graduated from Joshibi University of Art and Design Department of Fine Arts, majoring in three-dimensional art, in 2020, and graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School of Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture in 2023.
Takahashi creates three-dimensional works based on motifs of trivial scenes that everyone may have encountered in their daily lives. Takahashi's sculptures, which depict gentle expressions on whitish stone, have a soft, floating feel. However, because it is made of solid stone, it takes a long time to carve, and large pieces can weigh hundreds of kilograms. In her works so far, for example, she has carved weeds growing robustly in gaps in asphalt and people trying to pull them out, people in rooms seen through windows, and people looking down from a balcony.
