The New Bamboo: Contemporary Japanese Masters exhibit is the world’s first exhibition dedicated to Japanese bamboo artists only.  All of them are truly masters of their domain and their designs are unique and intricately detailed. Ranging from ethereal, computer-designed filigrees, through dramatic wall pieces to angry-looking, dirt-encrusted tangles and anthropomorphic, sexually charged sculptures, the more than 90 works on display demonstrate awesome technique, meticulous attention to detail and extraordinary creativity.
