Keita Miyazaki

profile

Born in Tokyo, Japan.

Keita Miyazaki is an artist exploring the supposedly polar notions of orderliness and phantasy. His installations select materials for their capacity to suggest ambiguity: traditional like metal, light and fragile like paper, invisible like sound. These juxtaposing techniques avoid concrete description, instead suspending forms in a state of uncertainty. In recent works, he employed parts of a second-hand car welded together and covered with a cocoon of paper. The assemblage releases sounds which the artist likens to colours, thus his work does not reflect or describe what we see, but instead infuses it with the healthy paradoxes of reality.
