Masayuki Tsubota
(Japan, 1976)
Vibrant colors, textures, and radiant movements built upon solid structure - the works of Masayuki Tsubota form an image while changing flexibly its expressions according to the viewpoint: density and playfulness are combined in a decent way stirring up the space. Selected materials like wood, stone, mineral pigments, which are closely related to the climate and natural features, blur their boundaries and mutually erode. Being breathed new life, these materials appeal to five senses of the viewer resonating with the realm of memory or sensibility that has been almost forgotten. This state of resonance is the origin of communication as well as the beginning of deep understanding that will be expanded beyond time and space. This is the very essence of the art of Tsubota.
The artist majored in sculpture at the Osaka University of Arts, and received a master's degree.
