艺术家和设计师AzumaMakoto出生于1976年，并在东京的高档区域青山经营自己的高级时尚花店JARDINSdesFLEURS。他在这里进行个人的艺术实践，同时也为客户工作。他利用树木，树叶，苔藓等等人工植物创造各种艺术品。这是他近期的一个个人项目的个展，他将各种叶片集合起来，形成让人流连忘返的艺术品。这些作品如此独一无二，想必完成需要高超的技艺和快速的行动，这些植物还保持着鲜活，就像是自然的状态一样。

Artist and designer Azuma Makoto was born in 1976 and runs a haute couture flower shop called JARDINS des FLEURS in Moto-Azabu, Tokyo. His work with plants and flowers also extends into personal artistic practice and client work where he creates a wide variety of sculptures, installations and objects using trees, leaves, moss, and other plants both organic and artificial. One of his most recent exhibitions, Collapsible Leaves at Eye of Gyre Gallery involved a remarkable collection of suspended and mounted sculptures made of tightly folded and layered leaves. The pieces are unique in that I imagine they must have required rapid assembly a single leaf at a time, and yet look as if they are naturally occurring objects.

Makoto Azuma has been in the flower business since 2002, and is an owner of the haute-couture floral shop,“JARDINS des FLEURS” in Aoyama, Tokyo. As a flower artist, he has been actively participating in art exhibitions, performance, design etc… all over the world.

From 2005, he has been holding solo exhibitions in cities like New York, Paris and Germany. In 2009, he found an experimental laboratory “Azuma Makoto Botanical Research Institute” and ever since then, he has been expanding art activities pursuing infinitive potential of plants.

Every activity of Makoto Azuma focuses on elevating value of flowers and plants by finding unique and mysterious forms that they posses. Respecting the existence of nature and keeping its dignity, he converts and expresses these beautiful elements to aesthetic level of artwork.
