Takeshi Shinohara (1951 - )

Artist

​

Born 1951 in Kyoto. Shinohara graduated from Osaka University of Arts in 1973 and from the Platz Institute in 1978. Characterised by various elements found in nature, such as wind, fire, water and sound, Shinohara's works do not present the artist's thoughts to the viewer in a one-way manner, nor do they employ any special devices, but are revealed when the viewer confronts the work.
