Biography from Leslie Levy Fine Art, Inc.:
| Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Hiroshi Yamano is a part of Japan's rapidly growing glass art movement. Trained at art schools in the U.S. and Japan, this artist’s blown glass sculpture has a recurrent theme of migratory fish.
To explain his fascination with fish, he says "I like to keep moving and have different experiences…. I have to keep swimming the world like a fish. I am a fish which is always looking for something".
Yamano directs his attention not only to the surface of his’metaphorical vessels but to the inside as well. The facets on the surface of the glass provide transparent windows through which the viewer has an illusion of activity within the bowl. Using a combination of gold, silver and/or copper leaf on the surface of the vessel and blown glass fish within, Yamano's intention is to create poetry in glass. |
