Shoko Taruma was born in Hiroshima in 1991 (she now resides in Kyoto) receiving her M.A. in Kyoto City University of Arts in 2016.
Taruma #39;s work uses abstract sculpture to embody human existence; in each piece, one life caught in time – organic stasis.
The simplicity of her ideas is found in a Japanese aesthetic of deep natural black and immaculate form.
