| Concept | 80年代以降の具象彫刻界では異色の存在。真鍮や鉄をたたいて熔接しながら「ドン・キホーテ・シリーズ」に取り組んできた。その作風には粗っぽい面的構築性と細やかなディテールが対照的に同居し、ユーモラスな悲喜劇の主題を一層盛り立てている。このほかドン・キホーテとロバを組み合わせた作品も多い。物語の主従が行脚した道をみずからもたどってみるほどの熱の入れようもこの人らしい制作態度である。 Since 1980s, the artist has established a unique presence in the circle of figurative sculptors. He worked on “Don Quixote Series” by beating and welding brass and iron. The roughness of the planer configuration and fine details coexist in striking contrasts to effectively highlight the theme of this humorous tragicomedy. Many of his other works under the same theme feature the knight with a donkey. The sculptor has been so enthralled by the story that he followed the trail of the knight and his servant. This episode is very characteristic of how the sculptor pursues his theme. |
