hammer-raised and chased Britannia silver 958, hallmarked for Edinburgh 2020
Yusuke Yamamoto graduated from Musashino Art University in 2004 and now exhibits his award winning hammer-raised and chased pieces worldwide, with work featuring in prestigious public collections in the UK and abroad.
Yusuke’s work is a manifestation of his everyday observations, such as the noise and colour during a trip to the country or city, or the patterns of mathematical expression on a blackboard. Once he has found the essence of his narrative he jots down these ideas onto silver with his individual style of sculptured and chased silver forms, exploring movement and pattern through distinctive surface texture and hammered marks.
