Niwa TAKAYUKI

Artist Profile

Takayuki was born in Aichi, Japan in 1981. In 2004, Takayuki graduated from the Aichi Prefectural university of Fine Arts and Macau, with major in sculpture. 

In my creating process, I have two main themes. One is creating human’s karma and from of existence. Aiming to express viewers can be image character’s life.One reason why I create with this theme is that my favorite thing is imaging the life of people I see in daily. Moreover, myself as a human, I also hold karma. I disappoint my life in daily work, and I have reason to create the work for affirmation myself. Another theme is I would like to be a professional of stupidity in creation. I would like to express source of pure stupid idea of four grades in elementary school. I would like to make something that reaches every ten-years-old child in the heart of viewers. I aim to silly sculptures as result .The reason of this theme is number of silly things in the world have saved me. Then as myself, I am stupid and silly person as well. At this point, these two themes cannot stand with one work, so these are made separate theme.
