Yu Hiraishi “From Art to Wearing Art”

Gallery Sokyo

This event has ended.

Yu Hiraishi’s installations are composed of sculptural units of varied sizes that suggest red flower petals dancing in a white space. They may also look like flowers floating like rafts down a river in rhythm in with the breath of nature. Looking closer, one can see that each of the red units is made up of three metal circles joined together in different configurations. As each circle is about 2 millimeters wide, they are not nearly as light as they look from a distance. These pieces appear light and seem to dance in spite of their actual weight. These contrasting characteristics, along with a sophisticated sensibility developed over many years, give Hiraishi’s art a marvelous power of expression.
