Kyotaro HAKAMATA
Born in Shizuoka prefecture in 1963, lives in Kanagawa prefecture
1987 Graduated from Musashino Art University, Faculty of Art and Design, Department of Sculpture
The announcement began in the latter half of the 1980s, and in the early days, he used industrial products such as plywood, galvanized steel sheets, and vinyl sheets as materials to create sculptures such as "shells" containing cavities. Since then, he has pursued a unique view of sculpture while constantly incorporating elements that are not like sculpture, using various materials such as furniture, electric cords, lemons, and FRP. In recent years, using ready-made figurines directly, the problem of the duplication of sculptures, which is sometimes political, is expressed by humanoid sculptures made by laminating colorful acrylic plates. The problem of the surface of the sculpture and the invisible cavities, and the danger of the existence of the sculpture that confronts the real (real) and the fake (fake) are developed by a unique methodology with dry humor and nonsense.
