Gaeru Tobu by Koichi Yamamoto
An exhibition of prints by Koichi Yamamoto is featured at the Cecelia Coker Bell Gallery at Coker College in Hartsville, South Carolina. Yamamoto, an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee School of Art, is a graduate of the University of Alberta Department of Art and Design (MFA 1999). Yamamoto's show, "00 To 10," includes a selection of works that merge traditional and contemporary approaches to printmaking. Yamamoto has worked with meticulous metal engravings, large-scale relief, and intaglio prints. His current work is in large-scale monotypes and exemplifies a contemporary, international aesthetic developed from his upbringing in Japan and his education in Europe and North America. His prints explore issues of the sublime, memory, atmosphere, light, and history through various representations of landscape.
