Description
Born in Tokyo in 1977, Kenjiro Kitade moved to the U.S. when he was 13. A creative and artistically inclined child, he later received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at New York University where he studied ceramics. Merely a year after graduating, Kitade began establishing an international reputation by first winning the bronze at the World Ceramic Exposition in South Korea, and later showing at the highly selective SOFA show (Sculpture Objects and Funcational Art) in Chicago. The whimsical sculpture that has won him such accllaim teems with contradiction.
