TOSHIRO YAMAGUCHI - 山口敏郎

TOSHIRO YAMAGUCHI

 

Born in Okayama (Japan)

 

Graduated from Fine Arts at the University of Musashino (Tokyo)

 

Since 1982 lives in Madrid.

 

Numerous solo and group exhibitions.

Makes an annual circuit exhibiting in Japan, Spain, Italy, Korea and Germany.

 

His artistic restlessness leads him to the constant renovation, guided by his own feelings and perceptions that once internalized, are returned to the world as expressive plastic material and with firm channeling through texture and color often intense.

 

His works often consist of multiple parts, wisely combined, at the same time form a new work each time that are exhibited, multiple unique pieces at the service of all.
