Norio Kajiura ( Japanese 梶 浦 徳 雄 , Kajiura Norio ; born July 2, 1951 in Okayama ) is a Japanese video artist , painter and sculptor who has lived and worked in Austria since 1986 .
Live and act
The artist studied visual design from 1970 to 1975 and oil painting from 1975 to 1978 at the University of the Arts in Tokyo and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna . He has been a member of the artists' association MAERZ since 1988 and of the Künstlerhaus Wien since 2003 .
In 2010, together with Futao Fujii , he initiated a retrospective in Vienna on the steel symposium steel art connection held as part of a cultural exchange program at the Hamada Children's Museum of Arts, Japan, where twenty Austrian and Japanese sculptors found a platform to communicate different cultural identities with one another To allow relationships to emerge and to cross boundaries. With the exhibition in the art-com gallery, this cultural exchange program was continued on a documentary and artistic level in the form of black and white photographs of the work and socialization process at the time and with current works by the artists participating in the symposium. The participating artists included not only Japanese but also Austrian sculptors Gottfried Höllwarth , Tone Fink , Franz Xaver Ölzant and Gerhard Laber . Works by Franz Katzgraber, who died in 1998, were also exhibited .
Works
Kajiura's works are sculptures, wall objects, drawings and collages. His sculptural and graphic works refer to the tradition of Japanese art , combined with the knowledge of the achievements of the western avant-garde . The result is an artistic language reduced to the essentials with poetic features.
