東島 毅
Tsuyoshi HIGASHIJIMA
Born in Takeo, Saga Prefecture. Lives and works in Okayama, Japan.

The characteristics of Higashijimaʼ s work lie in its vast scale of canvas that envelops the viewer, multi-layered and abyssal theme colors suchas dark blue and silver, and the physicality embodied through graﬃti-like words and symbols. While the artistʼ s gesture generates variousﬁgures evocative of calligraphy, the overall image exists as a reality ﬁltered through the artistʼ s thoughts and an actuality perceived by him̶such as subtle changes of light and air, water streams on the ground, the sky or the earthʼ s surface. Concurrently, his work presents a way ofrelationship between the paintings, the space and the viewer.

His main solo exhibitions are, in 2000 "Recent Works 25 Tsuyoshi Higashijima" at The National Museum of Art (Osaka) , in 2007 "Tsuyoshi

Higashijima Selected Works 1988-2006” at Okayama Prefectural Museum (Okayama), in 2008 "Tsuyoshi Higashijima - E-PICTURE” at Aomori

Born in Tokyo, Japan.

2007 BA Craft Metal Casting, Tokyo University of the Arts, 2009 MA Craft Metal Casting, Tokyo University of the Arts, 2013MA Sculpture, Royal

Keita Miyazaki is an artist exploring the supposedly polar notions of orderliness and phantasy. His installations select materials for their capacity
to suggest ambiguity: traditional like metal, light and fragile like paper, invisible like sound. These juxtaposing techniques avoid concrete

description, instead suspending forms in a state of uncertainty. In recent works, he employed parts of a second-hand car welded together andcovered with a cocoon of paper. The assemblage releases sounds which the artist likens to colours, thus his work does not reﬂect or describe
what we see, but instead infuses it with the healthy paradoxes of reality.
