Keizo Ushio "Oushi Zokei"
Robert Steele Gallery
This event has ended.
Although Keizo’s finished works are always conceived from a single block of granite, many are comprised of two equal and interlocking parts, with curving and twisting shapes derived from complex geometrical forms. The artist has developed an ingenious technique for dividing these stones, drilling at precise intervals into the granite midway through from each side and aligning the holes so that they join in the center. Keizo’s personal style involves refining the drill marks resulting from the process of dividing the stone. These refined drill marks then become a strong feature of the final sculpture.
