1962년 오사카에서 태어나고 오사카 미술대학에서 조각을 전공한 카와시마 케이주는 여러 재료(나무, 돌, 황동, 철, 도자기, 청동, 유리 등)를 하나의 작품에 사용하는 기술로 주목받았다. 작가는 일관되게 자연, 특별히 나무와 꽃과같은 식물을 모티브로 주된 작업을 해 왔다. 이번 전시 A Little CRAZY CLASSICS and Twiggy‘ 전은 클래식을 현대적으로 해석한 과감한 형태들과 섬세한 아름다움이 공존한다.
Born in Osaka in 1962 and majoring in sculpture at Osaka University of Art, Keiju Kawashima gained attention for his technique of using various materials, including wood, stone, brass, iron, ceramics, bronze, and glass, in a single piece. The artist has consistently focused on nature, particularly using motifs inspired by wood and flowers. The upcoming exhibition, “A Little CRAZY CLASSICS and Twiggy,” boldly interprets classics in a contemporary way, blending audacious forms with delicate beauty.
