The author
Yoshin Ogata (Miyazaki, Japan, 1948) begins his career in 1969 at the sculptures exposing Shinseisaku-Kyokai Tokyo and in 1970 he moved to London where he studied at the British Museum. After a long journey through Europe decides to travel to the United States and Mexico, where he continues to carry out their research in the local museums. Back in Italy, he continued his training in the Academies of Milan, Florence and Rome, then moved to Carrara, where he came into contact with the greatest sculptors of the time. After his first exhibition in Italy at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence (1973), participates in the Internationale Kunst-und-Informationsmesse Düsseldorf and then at the Internationale Kunstmesse of Cologne. Numerous international exhibitions in which it takes part, including, in 1980, his first solo show in Japan at the Dalmaru Gallery in Osaka, then in 1983 in Belgium. Besides the numerous monumental works in Germany, in Spain and in various cities in Italy, participating in community projects such as "Field of the Sun" in Tuoro sul Trasimeno, the exhibition Outdoor sculptures of Castelnuovo Magra, the ancient olive grove in Wells Seravezza. His art is influenced by some of the cornerstones of Western sculpture by Jean Arp, Henri Moore, declined by personal interpretation.
The sculpture rapolanese, located along the main road axis of the city, shows the stylistic traits recurring in the art of Ogata: the monumental structure, which has the solemnity of an obelisk, consists of purely geometric elements, such as the series of concentric circles and the central hole, interrupted by the vertical cut which is reflected on the base and on calm 'shockwave' given off to the sides.
