Kazue Taguchi (Japan)

“I am an artist, residing and working in New York. My medium is light. My media are reflective materials - mirrors, silver plastic board, and polyester silver film and the like. By varying the lighting and angles I manipulate the light that bounces off these reflective surfaces so that my installations alter the containing environment with a complex interplay of reflections and shadows on the walls and ceilings, creating work that is visually sublime, stimulating and comforting.

From junior high school through undergraduate years at Joshibi University of Art and Design in Tokyo, I painted in oils, paying careful attention to the contrast of the light and shade in my work. I had been fascinated by European stained glass windows since my first trip to Europe when I was a teenager so after Joshibi, I moved to Spain to learn stained glass techniques. The stained glass window is a non-static painting, as its appearance depends on the quality of light that shines though its panes. Most of the windows I saw were figurative, but the projections they made on the wall and floors were abstract. At that very moment, I wanted to paint on glass and see how the light would react to my painting.

For seven years I lived and made my glass works in Barcelona. Looking back, I realize I have always felt the importance of light in my work. Light developed into one of my primary media as I did my graduate course work at Virginia Commonwealth University in the Unites States about seven years ago.

My art work has exhibited in solo shows including Kunst Palast Museum-Glasmuseum Hentrich in Düsseldorf, the Alcorcon Glass Museum in Madrid, Meiji Gakuin University Chapel in Tokyo and Lorch+Seidel galerie in Berlin. In addition, my work is included a number of group shows and the stage set in the United States, Europe and Japan. My work is held in the collections of the collections such as Möet Chandon Spain S.A, Alcorcn Glass Museum in Spain, La Granja Glass Museum in Spain, Musée de Design et D’art Appliqué in Lausanne and Joshibi University Art and Design Museum in Japan.
