Saori Miyake

Japan

Around 2003, she began producing photograms in which she draws several drawings on transparent sheets of paper which are then superimposed on photographic paper and exposed　to develop the drawing’s shadows. An attempt is being made to extract a polyphonic "picturesque statue" of what is inherent in people's gazes. Recent exhibitions include the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2019 "MOT Annual 2019 Echo after Echo: Summoned Voices, New Shadows" (Tokyo), the National Art Center in Tokyo in 2018 "20th DOMANI: The Art of Tomorrow Special Exhibition" (Tokyo) and Arts Maebashi Gallery in 2017 "Art Meets 04 Koichi Tabata/Saori Miyake" (Gunma).

武蔵野美術大学大学院修了。
80年代の活動当初から鉄という素材に魅了され、溶断と溶接を繰り返しながら作品を制作している。
素材本来の硬質感や重量感、彫刻＝塊という概念からも解放され、空間を変容させていく。
“場”を深く観察し、可視、不可視に関わらずそこに存在するものを取り込み、
独自の世界を構築する。
近年は石膏、ガラスなど異素材の作品も発表。
主な受賞歴に、芸術選奨文部大臣新人賞、毎日芸術賞、中原悌二郎賞。
