Yoshiro Iwaisako received Uwamuki award at Shinsei-ten in 2008, and last year, his first solo exhibition was held at Shinseido. Recently he had exhibition both domestic and overseas.
Animals and foods are selected as motif of his art work, he makes them by toreutics or cloisonne.
Interestingly, he always takes in some ironic into works, for example, chicks they are angry because of their parents are killed and cooked to fried chicken for Christmas dinner, frogs wanted to beat their enemy-snake- so that frogs raise an army to stand up.
We find that these animals position is very similar to people in our human’s community. Thorough these works, Iwaisako wants to show that the attitude of trying to carry out a matter which seems relatively impossible without giving up is very important.
He was born at Kagoshima prefecture in 1975. After learning technique of toreutics at Tokyo University of the Arts, in 2000, completed master’s program of major in toreutics. Now, he is making art works with teaching as a part time professor at Tokyo University of the Arts.
