Art Exhibition: Hiroyuki Hamada
On display through October 10
art sites , 651 West Main Street
"Hiroyuki Hamada’s works are monumental in impact, but
built with delicacy. They are filled with an unknown spirit. There
is no direct reference, but one can read the mysteries of the
ancients or the mapping of a digital age in their rich surfaces.
The forms hold space, rather than make it. Tension pervades, as
each mark and tone tell a story of perfection, balance and upset.
Hamada spends up to three years creating the sculptures, as he
applies plaster over burlap and wooden forms. He then shapes and
stains them with wax, resin, and paint. Hamada, at 18, moved from
Tokyo to West Virginia, due to his father’s involvement with
the steel industry. Culture shock, language challenges, and minority
status were exacerbated by the parallel shift from an urban to
a rural lifestyle. In college, after starting in psychology, Hamada
became more enamored of art, especially after being exposed to
the work of Karl Jacobson. With a M.F.A. from the University of
Maryland, Hamada’s art transitioned from emotionally generated
art, to a fascination with the abstract, especially the interaction
between lines, colors, tones, and shapes in three dimensions.
