Join us as internationally recognized ceramic sculptor Akio Takamori conducts a slide lecture of his work at our downtown location, as part of the first installment of The Art School's Visiting Ceramic Artist Program. The lecture will begin @ 5:30 PM and is free and open to the public!
Akio Takamori's ceramic sculptures evoke an eerie sense of reality and presence. Often drawn from childhood memories of small-village life in Japan, his standing and sleeping figures depict ordinary people going about their day-to-day existence.
Takamori was born in 1950 in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, Japan. He studied art at Masashino Art College, Tokyo, before moving to the U.S. in 1974. He received a BFA at the Kansas City Art Institute in 1976 and an MFA at Alfred University in New York in 1978. Since 1993 he has been a faculty member in the University of Washington School of Art.
