Wataru Yamakami by Hiroshi Wada

Wataru Yamakami

Born in 1981 in Kochi and raised in Nagano. Representative of Kuroyama Shachu Co. He lives and works in Chiba and Indonesia. Using painting, sculpture, installation and drawing, his theme is "proliferation and transformation" and the connections that arise from this. The work attempts to depict a new surreal world by relating it to our daily lives in the macroscopic and microscopic realms of the visible that cannot be visualized. He received the Taro Okamoto Award for Contemporary Art Special Prize (2009) and the Tokyo Midtown Award 2013 Runner-up Grand Prix and Audience Prize (2013).
