Kiyoshi Yamamoto lives and works in Bergen, Norway. Textile and performance artist Kiyoshi Yamamoto was born in Japan but grew up in Rio, Brazil. Yamamoto attended Escola de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro and Saint Martin's School of Arts and Design in London before he moved to Bergen to attend the Master's programme at Bergen Academy of Art and Design, which he completed in 2013. Yamamoto works with textiles, sculpture and performance, and explores issues related to identity, belonging, existence and politics.
Being highly influenced by the work of textile artist and printmaker Annie Albers, Yamamoto's own artistic practice is centred around weaving, printing and pigments. His oftentimes large-scale works, and sometimes wearable ones, are consistently colourful. Moreover, they dissolve the lines between art and design; according to the artist, the materials are autonomous, making Yamamoto's artistic practice multifaceted.
