"Vines and Leaves" by Japanese Artist Daisuke Shintani at Jonathan Ferrara
Gallery
FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
October 26, 2010 (New Orleans, LA)
Jonathan Ferrara Gallery is pleased to present "Vines and
Leaves", new sculpture by Japanese artist Daisuke Shintani in his
third solo exhibition with the gallery. "Vines and Leaves" exhibition runs from
November 5, 2010 through December 27, 2010 with an opening reception to meet the
artist on Saturday November 6th from 6 to 9
pm.
For this exhibition,
Daisuke Shintani will present work in two parts. The first will delve into a
medium he has mastered for the past fifteen years, his trademark combination of
bronze sculpture and poured glass, to create installations of leaves and vines
that will stretch across the walls of the gallery. He creates the vines that
hold the leaves by hand-twisting rods of wax that are then caste into
bronze.
The second part of the exhibition will see Shintani utilize ordinary materials
found in everyday life: paper, wire, aluminum and gold leaf to explore a new
direction in his work. in these new media, Shintani allows himself the freedom
to explore new materials to communicate his vision while still embracing the
concept of presenting his trademark vines and
leaves.
The Hiroshima-born sculptor began
working
with glass over twenty five years ago
while
studying at the Glass Art Institute in
Tokyo.
He poured glass 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 of its
presence
Daisuke Shintani is an
internationally
recognized artist whose work has
been
exhibited across the United States and
in
Russia, Switzerland, France, Canada,
Italy
and Japan.
Due to the installation nature of the exhibition, images from the
exhibition will be available after the exhibition is installed on November
5th.
