Nobuo Sekine

Working across sculpture and multi-media wall pieces, Sekine has explained: “I believe that my job is to convey the richness of nature to viewers” - one of his most important works, Phase – Mother Earth, evokes the idea of a utopian society and the aura of mythology through his bare, yet well-constructed placement of stone and earth. A fellow artist and one of Sekine’s influences, Lee Ufan, was a co-founder of the Mono-ha movement;
 
with Ufan’s philosophical input regarding self-awareness and natural phenomena, Sekine found the catalyst and the channel through which he could project his own love of nature and the values that it represents. (Artist website) Read Less
