Yuki Tsukiyama
Tezukayama Gallery is pleased to announce “Exhibition 2023,” a solo exhibition by sculptor Yuki Tsukuyama starting on June 30.
Tsukiyama was born in 1976 in Kobe, in Hyogo prefecture, and graduated from the Kyoto University of Arts sculpting course in 2000. Since then, he has been actively working as an artist based in Kobe, his hometown, mainly in the Kansai region.
Tsukiyama works with a range of materials, such as metal, wood, paint, and artificial cashew lacquer. A friend gave some of them, or some are found by chance at a factory. Most of his mediums he discovered during encounters.
Through repeated experimentation, which Tsukiyama himself calls “playing,” he captures the unique characteristics of materials, and because they are part of the subject matter of his works, he sometimes dares to incorporate phenomena that have emerged unintentionally. (For example, wrinkles made by applying a thick coat of lacquer) This is a kind of unique method of his invention, which he faces to artwork wholeheartedly.
The majority of the works were created through tremendous repetitive actions, and the traces of the process can be found throughout his studio, such as dried paint drips, shavings from large trees, and dozens of used glue sticks. Exhibitions, including the traces, will allow visitors to comprehend the artist and his work better. His attractions are connected to his working methods and procedure.
Starting with 2017’s solo exhibition at Tezukayama Gallery, he started the Exhibition Project, which exhibits every year with new works for ten years. This project’s seventh exhibition will feature works made from 1200πwood with a banded pottery wheel.
