Yusuké Takemura is a Japanese-born contemporary artist, based in Canberra, Australia, whose sculptural practice focuses largely on the manipulation of glass. Takemura’s glass sculptures allow him to explore themes regarding the body, the conscious and unconscious mind and human experience. Through a combination of traditional glass blowing techniques and contemporary knowledge, Takemura creates poetic forms of subtle investigations into the infinite relationship between the bodily and sentient aspects of human existence.
