HIROSHI YAMANO - NAGARE ("FLOWINGHIROSHI YAMANO - NAGARE ("FLOWING WATER") #5Signed, 2007, Blown glass, cut and polished with copper painting and electroplating. , 16h x 18.5w x 18.5d. Complicated but richly subtle, Hiroshi Yamano creates carved and polished sculptures that refract the light and create windows, giving the viewer a sense of looking through water. Yamano began to focus on the Japanese elements inspired from antique Kano School paintings, from which he developed not only an aesthetic approach, but also a personal symbol–the fish. Yamano has long identified with fish swimming the oceans, as he so often traverses the vast waters between continents in his own life. Born in Fukuoka, Japan, in 1956, Hiroshi Yamano is recognized as one of Japan’s foremost and innovative glass artists. He received the 2015 People’s Choice Award from the Museum of Glass-Tacoma. Yamano is cofounder of the Ezra Glass Studio in Fukui, Japan, and serves as chairman of the glass program at Osaka University of Arts. “I am a fish that is always looking for something,” he has said. “I am a fish that cannot stop swimming. Maybe I will swim forever, like the universe does.”

2 DAISUKE SHINTANI BRONZE AND GLASS2 DAISUKE SHINTANI BRONZE AND GLASS LEAF FORM SCULPTURES: Approximately 31'' h., 10'' d., 22'' w., signed and dated '98. The Hiroshima-born sculptor began working with glass over twenty years ago in Tokyo by pouring it over random objects he would find: kitchen appliances, furniture, road kill, pizza, ''pretty much anything I saw and questioned.'' He developed a love for glass as an expressive medium by experimenting with the intense heat and its interaction with foreign objects; how it tends to consume everything and leave traces, sometimes only a hollow space where the object used to be. Shintani uses the effects of nature as the ultimate inspiration for his works, traveling to places such as Puerto Rico and South America to find large, exotic, fantasy-sized leaves to use in his installations. His most recent exhibit is comprised of vine forms that are cast from twisted rods of wax, with light creating an effect of shadow drawings to complete the sculptural composition. Shintani stresses that his works are not so much about recreating nature as an experimentation of creating forms. Glass is used as a recording medium over which he ''freezes'' the objects in their physical state; a way in which he continues through his earlier work to capture ''moments in time.
