ARTIST

YUTO NEMOTO

Born in Choshi City, Chiba, 1992.
He creates sculptures using ceramic as his main material. In recent years, he produces human figures based on various images, and his output is diverse ranging from a stick man to an old man buried in feces. His images are prompted by drawings, dreams, and the daily developments of prejudice and realizations. At TIG, he will exhibit a giant human figure over 3 meters high. A human-shaped hole dug in a garden will be made into a three-dimensional figure, and the figure will stand firm vertically. The standing figure will be a new breed of human excavated from the earth. His major exhibitions include Nothing At All at TokenArtCenter (2021), PERFECT OFFICE at AOYAMA STUDIO164 (2020). He was selected for Gunma Youth Biennale (2021), won the Grand Prize for CAF Award (2018) and the Nihon University College of Art Dean's Award (2015).
Public Collection: Permanent Installation of Dr. Yuto Nemoto's Statue in Daibetsu Iyashi no Mori Park, Fuefuki-shi, Yamanashi, Japan (2015).
