Ryuzo Kojima 

Biography | Artwork

 

I am a Tokyo-based artist who graduated from Zoukei University, Tokyo and have exhibited extensively around Tokyo, including Ginza Saegusa Gallery, Tanaka Yaesu Gallery, Akasaka Sanko, Ginza Saegusa Gallery and Koshindo Gallery. This solo show will be my first Australian exhibition.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT   My concept of this show is fusion of the nature and my expression. I have produced art-works for this show through respect for distinctive feature of natural materials...wood, cloth and paper. Human beings have been improving incredibly on civilization and lifestyle during the last 100 years. But we have misplaced nature’s ability to show us space and time. I believe it is the time to re-consider what we have done in the past and re-connect and admire the space and time nature’s beauty and simplicity has offer.
