Tadakazu Maeda (前田忠一) is a Japanese wood sculptor renowned for his exquisite craftsmanship and artistic vision. He skillfully incorporates the natural grain and color of wood into his works, giving each piece a unique texture and character.

Maeda will hold a solo exhibition titled 癒しの刻 – Healing Time from August 12 to September 10, 2023. The exhibition focuses on his acclaimed bathtub series, where the bathtub becomes a place of imagination and memories, accommodating different creatures and sharing joyful moments together.

Drawing inspiration from fragments of his life—from childhood experiences, interactions with nature and humans, to rich memories across diverse cultures—Maeda infuses his creations with personal narratives. His works go beyond art; they become a dwelling of dreams, connecting past and present, and offering viewers a space to spark inspiration and embrace their own aspirations.

In this exhibition, Maeda's latest bathtub series will be showcased, allowing audiences to experience his profound reflections on life, dreams, and memory. Each bathtub tells a distinct story, highlighting the intricate interplay between humans and nature, as well as culture and tradition.

This solo exhibition promises a captivating artistic journey, inviting viewers to not only admire the works but also to reflect on their own past and future.
