Keita Miyazaki: Rhizome
September 10th, 2021 – November 13th, 2021
Piero Atchugarry Gallery is pleased to announce Rhizome, contemporary Japanese sculptor Keita Miyazaki’s inaugural exhibition in Miami. Paradoxically biomorphic and otherworldly, Miyazaki’s sculptures converge the bulk of discarded car engines with the weightlessness of folded paper and sewn felt. Keita Miyazaki (b. 1983, Tokyo, Japan) has studied craft metal casting for over a decade, earning a BA and MA from Tokyo University of the Arts, Japan (2003-2009), an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, UK (2011-2013), and a PhD from Tokyo University of the Arts, Japan (2013-2015). The artist currently works between Tokyo and London. His works are part of numerous private collections in the UK, Japan, USA, Switzerland and UAE. Museum and corporate collections include; Daiwa Foundation, Mori Arts Centre Japan, Aoyama Spiral Hall Japan, Ogi Kankou Ltd, Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture Japan, Mortimer Collection London. In 2015 a monumental work by Miyazaki was selected for the Sculpture in the City exhibition in London. His works have also been featured in the 2017 Venice Biennale and at the Palais de Tokyo in 2018.
