About
Akane SAIJO
Born 1989 in Hyogo Prefecture. In 2014, she completed a Masters in Ceramics at Kyoto City University of Arts. Building upon geological, mineralogical, historical and archaeological research, she attempts through her ceramic-based art to reconstruct and give shape to the temporality and locality of physical substances, and the memories encapsulated within them.
Shingo TANAKA
Born 1983 in Osaka. In 2008 completed a Masters in Oil Painting at Kyoto Seika University. Fire is the primary motif and methodology of his work. In addition to exploring fire’s unique capacity to “simultaneously destroy and create” through the processes of incineration and melting, he contemplates the creative space that lies in the gap between intent and unintended consequence.
Atsushi HASHIMOTO
Born 1977. In 2005 he completed a Masters in Creative Arts at Kyoto University of Art and Design. He projects the vast expanse of nerve cells and blood vessels onto the shapes of trees and flowers, using a mixture of organic and inorganic materials such as acrylic, stainless steel, branches and acorns to physically represent the fluctuations and uncertainty that are a structural characteristic of the communication networks that exist within the human body.
