(openPR) - The Sculptor Maki Umehara grew up in Japan, but through her education in the USA and Germany, experienced a completely new and un-asian way of life.
Her work deals with language: how the idea of difference is literally translated and how other cultures interpret these differences.
Maki Umehara favors Plexiglas, Aluminum and wood for her work. With exhibitions in Japan and Germany and as a Master-student of Prof. Rita McBride, this resident of Düsseldorf enjoys international high esteem.

Located in former East Berlin, Germany, Galerie Markus Winter was founded in October 2005.
The gallery focuses on international contemporary painting, sculpture, photography and video art with a keen interest in conceptualism and progressive media. Therefore, the exhibition space is designed to accommodate each artist’s project without compromise (allowing for the flexible alteration of the overall architectural structure), and hence provides each artist with a highly individual forum. The yearly gallery program consists of eight to ten exhibitions, including solo exhibitions, as well as curated group shows.
Since our first exhibition, which featured an installation by the acclaimed German video artist Marion Schebesta, we have supported progressive young and mid-career artists from Europe, Asia, and the United States, working in all media. These include: François Boué, Jean-Baptiste Bouvier, Jim Lee, Bryan Osburn and Matthew Abbott.
In addition, we represent members of the Düsseldorf-based artist collective "Konsortium", such as Lars Breuer, Julio Ernesto Herrera Flores and Deutsche Bank award recipient Sven-Ole Frahm.
