Copyright© Tomiyuki SakutaMore Information
Branching twigs or thorns seem to burst out of a human form whose body evokes a landscape of complex, geological features. Tomiyuki Sakuta, whose recent prints are often of figures, has said that all his works are self-portraits, reflecting his obsession with negative feelings.
