| <\/p>\n Tetsuo Harada was born in Japan and studied at the Tokyo University of Fine Art and then at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. He lives and works in France, dividing his time between Paris and his workshop in Fresnay l\u2019Eveque (near Chartres).\u00a0 Tetsuo made a name for himself with monumental sculptures carved directly from granite and marble. In the 1990s he developed the concept of Earth Weaving, sculpture symbolizing the fraternal bond among countries with granite rings.<\/p>\n Along with sculpture, he does sketches, drawings and paintings, which are often preparatory work for executing his sculptures.<\/p>\n |
