About the Item

A contemporary bamboo sculpture art pieces by Japanese artist Kawashima Shigeo (1958-). Entitled "Soul's Trace", this bespoken piece was made in 2009 and purchased from Tai Modern, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Using thin strips of Madake bamboo in Midare-Ami (irregular plaiting) technique with twill thread tie-knotting, the artist created this piece in his iconic style by linking two constructed rings together. The composition is fixed yet the airy nature of the work gives a kinetic illusion. A great example of the artist's signature aesthetic: an ethereal cosmos appearance that appears weightless, and in motion. The work is signed Shige on bamboo plaque on the base. It comes with a gallery information sheet from Tai Modern, Born in Tokyo, Kawashima Shigeo moved to Kyushu and trained in Beppu, Oita and studied under Okazaki Chikuhosai II. Working in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, his sculptures have entered more than 30 collections throughout Japan, Europe, and the United States, including the Philaphelphia Musuem of Art and San Francisco Asian Art Museum. He created some large-scale onsite sculptures as well including "Wa' for the Kennedy Center.

Japanese Woven Bamboo Sculpture by Honda Syoryu
By Honda Shoryu
Located in Atlanta, GA
Entitled "Rhythm", this abstract sculpture was made by Japanese bamboo artist Honda Syoryu (Japanese, born 1951) in 2005. The free vertical form defies the limit of the traditional material bamboo as a rigid medium, and instead displays a nearly impossibly fluidity. Rooted in ages of tradition of Japanese basket weaving, the artist managed to break that ikebana tradition using bending and twisting techniques to create a pure sculptural work. The work is a testament of how traditional craft can be reinvented into modern art form. Signed with carved signature "Syoryu" underneath. The sculpture is displayed on a custom-made stand and can be appreciated from all angles. It comes with its original box and cloth, with label and Japanese inscription as shown. Provenance: Purchased in 2005 from Tai Modern...
