Rosenfeld at Gallery Rosenfeld

Keita Miyazaki's major catalyst in his artist’s artistic life was being a first-hand witness to the tsunami that devastated parts of his country in 2011. Seeing the total destruction of so many elements of the industrial world on which we depend for so much of our highly developed existence was a highly significant moment for him it crystallized the enormous faith in which Western societies had based their progress and wealth. This made him question the very basis on which Western societies measure their progress.

Gallery Rosenfeld is delighted to present Keita Miyazaki’s third solo exhibition in the gallery. Fortuitously, the occasion coincides with a work that has just become part of The Victoria and Albert Museum’s Japanese collection as well as a major loan of one of Miyazaki’s large vertical floor works which will be part of the inaugural exhibition at the new Victoria and Albert Museum which will soon open in Londons’ East End. The museum, which will be dedicated to children, tells you a great deal about the democracy of the artist’s work. One can react to the artist’s sculptures in various ways.
