Tetsugo Hyakutake
Tetsugo Hyakutake works with contemporary issues in relation to their historical contexts. Through his artwork, he creates what he calls his own “truth” shaped by his personal experiences and influences. These “truths” are based on individual beliefs, identities, and relative perspectives rather than facts. Hyakutake’s work attempts to portray one version of the truth, all the while allowing the viewers’ own interpretations.
Tetsugo Hyakutake (born 1975) is a Japanese artist and a fine art photographer. In 2003, Hyakutake moved to Philadelphia and graduated from the University of the Arts. In 2009, he obtained a Master’s Degree of Fine Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was awarded the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship.
