Tetsuhiro Iwata Biography
Born in Tottori Prefecture in 1981. Studied architecture at Kyoto Seika University, then apprenticed under ceramic artist Kan Ito. Became independent in 2019. As he himself says he is drawn to "products" like industrial goods, his works may appear uninteresting from a distance, but when held, one is moved by their exquisite balance and the traces of handcraftsmanship. The fusion of constructive, concise proportions and organic handcraftsmanship evokes the modernity of Brutalist architecture. He is an artist of note for Food for Thought.
