KENSUKE YAMADA / YAMADAVILLE

Preview from 6-8 pm on October 3, 2007, with Artist Talk starting around 7 pm.

Opening Reception Thursday, October 4th, 6-8 pm

We're pleased to present 'Yamadaville', figurative ceramic sculpture & drawings by Kensuke Yamada. His city is populated with hip children and animals dressed in his signature polka dot and striped clothes. With rough-texture and over-size heads, the life-size figures are quietly cool in relaxed poses. Yamada is 28 and a native of Japan. This is the first solo show of his career.
