YAMAMOTO MASAO
(b. 1957, Aichi Prefecture, Japan)
Born in Aichi Prefecture, Japan in 1957. Studied painting before he chose gelatin silver prints as his
media. The first gallery show in 1994 at Shapiro Gallery, San Francisco and a solo exhibition at Yancey
Richardson Gallery, New York in 1996 led to many other gallery shows in the U.S. Since 2006, he has
been actively showing at galleries and museums in Europe, Japan, Russia, and Brazil. Media coverage
includes NY Times and other major art magazines. Yamamoto lives in Yatsugatake Nanroku, Yamanashi
Prefecture where he enjoys creating his work while being close to nature.
