Seitaro Yamazaki is a contemporary artist and designer living and working in Tokyo. Earning BA in Sociology from Rikkyo University in 2006 and a successful career as designer, he earned MFA in Architecture from Kyoto University of Arts in 2016. Since then, he has been creating contemporary art works in the fields of sculpture, installation, video, painting, and media art. His works had been exhibited in London, NY, Venice, Washington DC, Nagasaki, Tokyo, etc. He also commissioned artworks by companies such as Mitsubishi Estate. He has been trying to find and show the beauty of ambiguity, transience, and the things that were never depicted, spoken, or formed in his works. Recently he focused on media art using sonographs. He also studied ink wash painting under Tsuchiya Shukou, along the lines of 18th Century Japanese painter Maruyama Okyo, and Ikebana of Obara school under Toru Watarai.
