Reijiro Wada b. 1977
Wada is a sculptor whose work employs physical phenomena and dynamics to address metaphysical concepts and themes spanning from the universe and time, to life and death. At times, Wada intervenes directly in the environment through the use of nature, blurring the demarcation between the work and its surroundings. His sculptures are characterized by their multi-dimensional disposition that challenges the viewer’s perspective and perception of the space in which they are situated.
His major solo exhibitions include “Vineyard,” BODEGA ALTO DE PIOZ, Pioz (2024); “NACT View 04: Reijiro Wada, Forbidden Fruit,” The National Art Center, Tokyo (2024); “Market and Thieves in a Cloister,” SCAI THE BATHHOUSE, Tokyo (2022); and “Embraced Void,” Daniel Marzona, Berlin (2020). He has participated in "Apple Cycle / Cosmic Seed," Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, Aomori (2021); “Tbilisi Architecture Biennale,” Tbilisi (2018); “On the art of building a tea house,” Neues Museum Nürnberg (2017); “Aichi Triennale,” Aichi (2013) among many others. His work is included in museum collections, such as Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatlichen Museen, Berlin; Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade, Belgrade; Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, Aomori; Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, Aichi.
