about

In Europe, the art medal has a long history. Furthermore, contemporary art medals are drawing attention with themes and production processes having greatly expanded in the past few years.

Seta Tetsuji’s medals are made with his focus towards small creatures and the tension between nature and culture, as well as his world view that holds a condensation of moments in everyday life, and delicate technology that can be described as transcendent.

In 2017, he has won the Jaap van der Veen / Teylers Museum Prize for contemporary Art Medal by Teylers Museum(Netherlands). Carrying on from 2016, please peruse Seda’s second contemporary art medal exhibition, featuring tiny art that can fit in the palm of your hand.

ヨーロッパを中心に古い歴史を持つアートメダルですが、近年ではテーマや技法などを発展させたコンテンポラリーアートメダルが注目されています。瀬田哲司のメダルは、小さきものへの視点や自然と文化間の緊張、そして日々の瞬間が凝縮された世界観と、また超絶技巧ともいえる精緻な技術から作られています。2017年にはオランダのTeylers Museumが選ぶ第2回Jaap van der Veen / Teylers Museum Prizeを受賞しました。2016年に続き２回目となる瀬田哲司のコンテンポラリーアートメダル展、手のひらに収まる小さなアートをどうぞご高覧ください。
