Yasuo Fuke (b. 1929, Kagawa, Japan) is a distinguished Japanese sculptor born in 1929 in Kagawa Prefecture. Fuke moved to Italy to further his artistic education at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan. This cross-cultural experience profoundly influenced his artistic development. This allowed him to merge traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the bold expressions of Italian modernism.
Fuke’s work has minimalist aesthetic and organic forms. He often utilizes materials such as wood and bronze. He crafts pieces that exhibit fluid lines and a harmonious balance between form and space. His sculptures are noted for their tactile quality and the way they interact with light and shadow, creating a dynamic visual experience.
Fuke has always maintained a presence in Japanese and European art scenes. His works have been featured in various exhibitions and have garnered attention in the art market, with pieces sold at auctions in Italy and beyond.
Yasuo Fuke’s sculptures stand as a testament to his ability to bridge cultural aesthetics, offering a unique blend of Eastern refinement and Western modernist principles.
