Modern sculpture in Okinawa was largely dominated by figurative works. This began to change, however, with the establishment of a sculpture division at the third Oki-Ten Exhibition in 1951. After that, a sculpture research group, Enju-kai, was founded, thereby leading to a revitalization of the world of sculpture in Okinawa.
Furthermore, after the establishment of the Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts in 1986, many instructors from outside of the prefecture began to visit the university, resulting in the creation of a wide variety of three-dimensional sculptural works, ranging from human figures to abstract forms. There are now many opportunities to see a diverse array of sculptural works made by artists who were born in Okinawa or who were born and raised abroad and produced their works in Okinawa. This exhibition, “Sculptures of Okinawa,” focuses on modern sculptures created during the post-WWII period in Okinawa, displayed in Collection Gallery 2.
*There will be a change of some exhibits during the exhibition.
