He also prays for the purification of the heart of people. BIOGRAPHY Higashida was born in Hiroshima in 1958. He graduated from the Nihon University College of Art in 1984, and went on to continue his studies first in Tokyo at the National University of Fine Arts and Music, and then in New York at the New York Studio School in 1988. The artist’s view of the world has been formed through his relationship with his mother, a survivor of Hiroshima bomb. The ragged edged, almost wounded steel planes of his abstracted work reflect the horror of human destruction, and the poetic forms and materials reflect the Japanese notion of ‘chiritori’, the planet’s power to restore and heal itself. The artist writes of this work, “Peace is always a possibility, if enough people care, if enough people want it. Otherwise … the planet will die. It’s that simple.” Higashida has solo exhibitions regularly in New York and Tokyo and has participated in group exhibitions in Australia and USA. In 2008 he received the Gold Prize at the Kajima Sculpture Competition and in 2013 he received the major award from the Shinseisaku Art Society. He has exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea in Cottesloe and Bondi numerous times since 2008 and Sculpture by the Sea, Aarhus in 2013. 29 6 JAKUB GELTNER CZECH REPUBLIC Nest 06 MATERIALS aluminium, steel DIMENSIONS 468 x 280 x 100cm PRICE $32,000 (edition of 3) STATEMENT Part of an ongoing series dealing with multiplicated objects that are flooding public space.
