There are not many artists in Japan who work with bronze sculptures, especially with the unfamiliar technique of wax casting. The form is molded with heated wax, and through various steps, it is directly replaced by a bronze sculpture. The materials and techniques used have had a profound influence on the forms created by Miyazaki. At the same time, he has long been involved in the study of Buddhist statues, and the he has reverence for materials that remain for hundreds of years gives his work a pleasant sense of tension. At his 2018 solo exhibition, Miyazaki said, “Now that I have worked with a variety of materials, including wood and stone as well as bronze, I want to break free of all restraints and enter the realm of free production”, and so, many of his new works are abstract in nature. About 30 works will be exhibited. Please come and have a look.
