Born in Saitama Pref. Japan in 1973. Ishiyama is a famous Japanese artist who started making ceramics since he was 18, and it has become a medium to capture his thoughts. Besides working as a ceramic artist, since 2011, Ishiyama is often invited as guest artist to share his passion, ideas and techniques in universities and art centres in different cities of Asia, such as National Tainan University of the Art and Hualien Ceramic Art Center in Taiwan, Uttarayan Art Center in India, Baptist University in Hong Kong. His works have been exhibited in the United States and various Asian countries.
Creative Concept:
Art sometimes survives thousands of years. Some things are made most beautiful when they are made, some gradually decay, and others become beautiful as time goes by.
Some people will be born all the time, repaired by later generations. Gold has a nature and image that it is permanent. Even if the original shape is lost, it will be reborn by applying gold on it. Even if money gets stripped after ages, another beauty appears again.
