David Handley, the founding director of the Western Australian outdoor "Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe" exhibition, set to run March 6 to 23, issues considerable praise on sculptor Haruyuki Uchida.
"It is without doubt that his kinetic 7.5-meter (long) gravity-defying sculpture by will be a highlight of the Cottesloe 2020 exhibition," Handley says. "Uchida is the Tourism Western Australia Invited International Artist at this year's exhibition, allowing visitors to see a world-class sculpture never before seen in Australia."
Eight Japanese sculptors — Uchida, Hirofumi Uchino with Christine Simpson, Takahiro Hirata, Toshio Iezumi, Yuko Takahashi, Zero Higashida, Yoshio Nitta and Keizo Ushio — will exhibiting at this year's "Sculpture by the Sea," one of Western Australia's most popular art attractions, which has reported previous attendance figures in the hundreds of thousands.
