About Kenjiro Kitade

Kenjiro Kitade was born in Tokyo, moved to New York City at age 13 and achieved his masters degree at NYU in ceramics. His whimsical sculpture teems with contradiction; presenting a bleak picture of humanity with sarcasm and humor. “As a Japanese submerged in a foreign culture-, transfixed in a world between worlds- I see that both worlds can peacefully exist, only with the ability to yield."
