Time Travellers: First Anniversary Exhibition

Nagasaki-born Japanese sculptor Emi Katsuta (b. 1983) graduated from Aichi Prefectural University of Arts with a major in sculpture, and received a Master's Degree from Tokyo University of the Arts, Graduate School of Fine Arts. Defined by her signature use of bright colours and unique ability to mix reality and illusion within a wooden medium, Katsuta's artworks are inspired by local Japanese media events, including the obsession with social media.

Katsuta has carved her place in Japanese contemporary art through exhibiting in Europe, Asia and America, quickly gaining recognition for her sculptures which simultaneously invoke images of wonder and loneliness.
