Chiharu Shiota
biography
While her repertoire today is broad, engaging with several mediums that include sculpture, paper, and performance, it’s her complex thread-work installations that have gained her widespread acclaim. Through their tangled intricacy and large scale, she seeks to represent the complex nature of humanity and relationships.
Reflective of her international prestige, the artist has been exhibiting world-wide for years and in 2015, was offered the privilege of representing Japan in the 56th Venice Biennale. In 2026, Southbank Centre, London, is holding a solo exhibition of her work, titled 'Chiharu Shiota: Threads of Life'.
