Akio Takamori "Alphabet / People"
Barry Friedman Ltd.
This event has ended.
Considered one of the most inventive and expressive artists to emerge in contemporary ceramics, Akio Takamori focuses on human relationships and an ongoing search for personal and cultural identity in an era of increasing global influences and contradictions. Born in Nobeoka, Japan in 1950, the artist has spent more than half of his life living in the United States. Informed by a dual citizenship, Takamori’s sculptures are liberated from their social context and grouped to suggest the artist’s belief in a collective memory representing the shifting historical, cultural, and racial perspectives that create individual and group identity.
