Akira Kamada

Akira Kamada is a contemporary sculptor and installation artist who focuses on issues of social justice, and the impact of human behaviour on the natural environment. He mostly works with organic or recycled materials.

Born and raised in Japan, Akira migrated to Australia in his 30s. Having previously studied painting and photography, he took courses in ceramics and sculpture at TAFE while working in landscape gardening. He began exhibiting his sculptures in the early 2000s, and has received numerous awards and commissions since. He now lives in Tomerong on the south coast of New South Wales, and combines his art practice with running sculpture workshops for schools and community members.
