奥島圭二 Keiji Okushima

奥島圭二 Keiji Okushima

"I have a special feeling about New York.  I visited New York 20 years ago to go to museums and galleries.  I still remember I was very excited to see original artworks by Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko in person.  Isamu Noguchi's sculpture I saw then is my starting point for my creation.  I felt New York was a place to feel original art from the past in the present time.  The city is exciting, fresh and free.
After 20 years, I am very happy to show my works in New York.  I would like to connect to this place through my works, and step up to my next stage."

He lives and works in Shiga prefecture near mountains by Lake Biwa.  His works is inspired by the rich nature there.   He makes hand blown glasswares and glass art objects.  "I like glass because there is reflection and refraction of light.  There is a world inside and outside.  There is solidness and liquidness.  Glass seemingly has an element that disagrees.  I strive to express and explore the charm of glass."

​He was born in 1977 in Shiga prefecture Japan, graduated at Ritsumeikan University industrial Sociology and Toyama City Institute of Glass Art.  He became an independent glass artist after worked at the glass studio and kimono dye workshop.
