Tamekane Yoshikatsu 爲金義勝, 1959-
Born
in 1959 outside Osaka Japan, Tamekane studied at Sokei Academy of Fine Arts in Tokyo. Tamekane lived and worked in France from 1991 to 1994,
further perfecting his skills in the art of printmaking.
Tamekane is a woodblock printer, but adds texture to his images using collagraphic techniques. Various materials such as string, resin, and paper are applied to the block in order to add relief to the surface of the print. He also incorporates gold and silver leaf in many of his works. His images merge landscape, geometry, organic forms, and a controlled use of color and texture into arresting images.
