View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Seitaro YamazakiAbout Seitaro Yamazaki : Seitaro Yamazaki (Tokyo) is a contemporary artist and designer whose practice explores the fragile beauty hidden in the overlooked and the forgotten. Working across installation, sculpture, painting, and media art, he draws on Japanese concepts of ma and impermanence while resonating with Western traditions such as vanitas and negative space. His works have been shown internationally, including solo exhibitions at Spiral (Tokyo, 2024) and K11 Art Center (Shanghai, 2025), and participation in the Larnaca Biennale (Cyprus, 2025) and SXSW (Austin, USA, 2025).
Seitaro Yamazaki (Tokyo) is a contemporary artist whose practice explores the fragile beauty hidden in the overlooked and forgotten. Through works such as Still Voice, What was Almost There, The Grammar of Silence, and The Hesitation of the Image, he locates beauty within incompletion, ambiguity, and forgetting.
Drawing upon Japanese notions of ma and impermanence, while resonating with Western still life traditions—particularly the Spanish bodegón—and with negative space, Yamazaki proposes a visual philosophy that attends to silence, residue, and the unseen, guiding viewers toward what escapes representation.
