Mitsuaki TACHIBANA

Biography

Mitsuaki TACHIBANA entered Tokyo University of Arts under the tutelage of Takeshi YOSHINO, and he studied under Takashi FUKAI at the university where he laid the foundation as a wood sculptor. As if following his teachers’ footsteps, he seeks to combine human body sculpture with abstract narrative. He creates a story for each piece and presents a mysterious world-view that evokes the passage of time or the landscape the tree has grown in.
