Profile of Keiki Yamada
Keiki Yamada
Keiki Yamada
Born in Tomakomai, Hokkaido in 1978.
Graduated from the Graduate School of Tama Art University in 2004.
Using the classic technique of layered oil paint and tempera, he paints familiar objects that are close to his heart.
His works evoke memories of the viewer’s past and have a presence that makes the viewer want to gently touch them.
His works have been exhibited at Art Fair Tokyo and Art Taipei in recent years, as well as in exhibitions in London and Berlin, and are attracting increasing attention and recognition both in Japan and abroad.
