Work Details

Concept and Intention of the Artwork

This work is a trial and error work based on the theme of landscape carving. It quotes Ryusei Kishida's painting “Road Cut through a Hill” and takes a structure that cuts out the slope part of the painting. The slope, which cuts through the hill and is hardened, gives me such a sense of tension that I think it will rise and overhang from the ground by Kishida's brush. Just like that, it looked like a mountain created by crustal deformation.
Using this as an opportunity, I thought I'd make this painting into a sculpture by likening it to a mountain.

What is placed in front of a slope that looks like a mountain is a “road” that abstracts myself. As a result, multiple landscapes coexist within a single sculpture, and they have succeeded in creating a space as a sculpture.
