Artist

yuhei takada

Born in 1983. Based in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture. Studied under Shozo Shimamoto (Gutai). Graduated from Takarazuka University of Art and Design.

Under the theme of “Creating positive artworks from negative materials,” the artist has been crafting his artworks from waste, mainly newspaper. The origins of his inspiration lie in his unchanging curiosity since childhood, a desire to surprise viewers, and his wish to deliver unprecedented fun.
