Work Details
Work title
The concept of the work
I continue to create works by accumulating and multiplying detailed parts. The reason for this is that when you think about the formation of substances (natural objects, living organisms, etc.) in this world, they are made up of countless fine cells and capillaries. I think that if we make a sculpture with an “inner shape” instead of the “surface shape” that we can usually see, we can give viewers the feeling that people feel when they see natural objects or living forms, even if they are made by humans.
This work was also created using a technique called gas welding of countless iron wires. A number of fine wires are welded together to form large chunks. Also, we make use of the rust of the material called iron, and we have not applied any particular anti-rust treatment. The fact that it will decay and disappear someday is also regarded as an important element that gives the impression that iron, which is a man-made object, looks like a natural object.
Also, as the title suggests, this work expresses “FORCE” = “power.” It is “gravity,” which can be said to be the most important when creating a sculpture, or the “force” that matter itself has invisible to the eye.
The material called heavy iron gives a light impression by creating a space in the center of the work, while expressing the power we usually feel being pulled by the ground and the power we feel from the ground.

I usually create sculptures and drawing using iron as a material. When I started creating my work, I wanted to create something vaguely beautiful. It is the shape of our human body, plants, and life, so-called forms created by nature. However, instead of expressing them in the form of a surface visible to the eye, when I thought about how they were formed, I felt surprised that they were shaped by countless fine cells and blood vessels, and I thought that if my works were shaped by an accumulation of countless fine things similar to those, they would give viewers the same feeling as when humans saw natural objects, so I created them. Also, the appeal of the material called iron, which I use as a material, is that it is a natural material even though it is a man-made object. I feel that it is a material that makes you feel the flow of nature, where it rusts, which is a characteristic of iron, living things and plants decay and disappear, and something will decay and disappear someday. 1993 Born in Tokyo 2018 Tama Art University Graduate School Sculpture Course Completed Awards 2024 KAIKA ART AWARD 2024 Grand Prize 2017 Hachioji Yumemi Ennale Selected 2016 52nd Kanagawa Art Exhibition Art Scholarship Society Memorial Award 2015 Selected for the 51st Kanagawa Art Exhibition solo exhibition 2020 “IMMANENCE - INSIDE-” /LOKO GALLERY (Tokyo) 2017 Tama Art University Graduate School Sculpture Outstanding Student Selection Exhibition Hana Tobari Exhibition (Gallery K/Tokyo) art fair 2022 “WHAT CAFE × DELTA EXHIBITION -TRI FOLD-” (Tennozu WHAT CAFE/Tokyo) Main group exhibitions 2024 Asyl-1- (Gallery K/Tokyo) 2022 Layer Cakes (the 5th floor/Tokyo) 2020 Drawings (LOKO GALLERY/Tokyo) 2018 Haruka no Suki no Suki ~ Touring the Iron Ring ~ Takashi Nakamura, Kenichi Kanazawa, Hana Tobari (Iina Park Kawaguchi/Saitama) 2018 Harukana Toki no Suki Till A Plus Viewing 02 ~ Ephemeral/Eternal~ (Former Tanaka Family Residence/Saitama) 2016 TamabiSelect-2- (Tama Art University Arttech Gallery/Tokyo) 2016 InternalExternal Mori Yuka Tobari Flower Exhibition (LOKO GALLERY/Tokyo)
