ARTIST INFORMATION

山本桂輔（1979-）は、2001年東京造形大学彫刻科を卒業後、2018年東京芸術大学大学院美術研究科彫刻専攻修了し、現在女子美術大学立体アート専攻准教授を務めています。

山本は、彫刻、絵画の両輪で作品世界を表現してきました。またその大きな特徴として、土壌や地底に親和性を見出している点があげられます。大地への信仰や畏敬、地層という時間や歴史、養分や微生物、ライフライン、ケミカルな人工物など、混沌とした暗闇の中を独自の想像力と結びつけ、自由な存在性として表してきました。作品は国立国際美術館や

国内外のプライベートコレクションなどに収蔵されています。

Keisuke Yamamoto (b. 1979) graduated from the sculpture department of Tokyo Zokei University in 2001 and completed his Master’s degree in sculpture at the Graduate School of Fine Arts at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2018. He currently serves as Associate Professor in the Concentration in Sculpture at Joshibi University of Art and Design.

Yamamoto has expressed his artistic world through both sculpture and painting. One of the most distinctive features of his practice is his affinity for soil and subterranean realms. He has connected his unique imagination to a sense of faith in and reverence for the land, the time and history embodied in layers of earth, nutrients and microorganisms, lifelines, chemical artifacts, and the chaotic darkness, presenting them as forms of existence that are free and unencumbered. His work is collected by the National Museum of Art, Osaka and international private collections.
