Completed graduate school at Musashino Art University.
I was fascinated by the material of iron from the beginning of the 80's activity,
I produce works by repeating fusing and welding.
Freed from the original sense of hardness and weight, the concept of sculpture = lump,
The space is transformed.
We observe the “field” deeply and take in what is there, whether it is visible or invisible,
Build your own world.
In recent years, works of different materials such as plaster and glass have also been announced.
Major awards include the Minister of Education New Artist Award, the Mainichi Arts Award, and the Nakahara Teijiro Award.
Born in Tokyo in 1935. Isobe started his career making prints in 1950′ and created repetitiously emblems using materials such as plaster mixed with marble, emboss, and water color drawings and prints. After moving to New York in 1965, he was taken by environmental and ecological interest studying at University. At that time, he tried to integrate graphics and colors used in these scientific field with expression in the art, introducing plan and maps as a repetition into his works. He was closely related to Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale from the beginning, where he installed a number of yellow poles to indicate the original position of Shinano River (2000) or to visualize the mad slide (2015).
