About the Item

Shohei Yokoyama is a famous contemporary artist living and working in Toyama, was born in Okayama prefecture, Japan in 1985. Having a lot of awards and prizes, artist's works are in the outstanding and prestigious world glass collections. "Glass is “amorphous”. It is a rare material that does not have a crystalline structure. Molten glass can be transformed using gravity, heat, air and centrifugal force. We can also use our breath and make the glass take shape, and through the transparency of the material we can also visualize the shape our breath will create. Through the process of blowing and forming glass in a molten state, we can follow the transformation from a liquid to a solid. I see the material separated into two equally important factors. The first point is the effect of the artist on the material, the physical ability of muscle pressure and lung power and the way those factors determine the shape of the glass. The second point is the emotional state of the artist, the feelings, mind, sensibility and spirituality and how those factors will determine the shape of the glass. I aim to create work in this space where the activity of making glass is born. I am motivated by the process and hope to create work that capture power of the material". Shohei Yokoyama.
