    Miyagi, Japan, b. 1982

    Yuya Saito was born in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture. After graduating from the University of Central Oklahoma, USA, he is currently based in New York (Brooklyn). Inspired by skateboarding, which he started as a child, he has set up a new visual language for the streets, “Curved Shape,” and presents his work on the “Relationship between human and the city.” In cities, people, goods, and events converge, the same scenery never repeats itself. Saito perceives the repetition of countless dramas that arise and disappear as key for fostering culture. Also, after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, my hometown was so easily wiped out by the tsunami that I learned about the vulnerability of cities. "Culture that has been fostered because of chaos, and confusion that has arisen because of chaos." Saito believes that the city that has taken on this contradiction holds the key to expressing humans as irrational and cultural creatures. In addition to the unique work of curved surfaces, by intersecting multiple projects such as public art, digital works, and collaboration works with city-related artists, Saito is trying to cut out the present of the city that crosses areas.
