KEISUKE YAMAMOTO
"Rise"

Keisuke Yamamoto creates drawings, paintings, and wooden sculptures. His works consist of trees, plants, fungi, and small fairy-like dolls formed by organic lines joined to realize a single form. The divisions allow our eyes to freely wander over the flat surface, filled with colored spaces that resemble flowers and insects, serve as the sky, or an enormous forest that is home to hidden creatures.
The sculptures also resemble items from a forest, allowing the impression to spread and pervade the gallery. All works compare beginning and now in complicated forms that melt together in an intimate motif. "Creating art involves wandering in a bottomless world. Having realized that, I must include that in my work," Yamamoto said. True to his words the works include unseen aspects and exist as fragments of a world of uncertainty.
