    About the Artist

    Charming Those with the Uniqueness of Metal

    Metalwork artist Tatsuro Shimizu specializes in metal casting, which is forming an object by pouring molten metal into a mold and cooling it. He has mastered the techniques to leave the burnt color and texture of the metal made through the process to create an appearance unique to cast metal pieces. He uses various metals such as copper and rogin (copper and silver alloy) to express his unique aesthetic sense. While bringing out the solid feel of the metal and the beauty of the material to the fullest, Shimizu's artworks express the wind and light, and the fleeting beauty of the changing seasons. His delicate and emotional artworks have opened up new possibilities for metalwork.

    Style

    I try to make the most of the metal material and metal casting techniques when creating my artwork. The themes and motifs of my designs are mainly ordinary objects, scenery, and events in our everyday life.
