IZUMI KATO SCULPTURE @K11 MUSEA
Japanese artist Izumi Kato's art practice is a journey into our own sense of humanity which begins at the point of convergence between imagination and reality. Untitled (2021), Kato’s sculpture trio displayed at K11 MUSEA, is the first bronze variation born from his stone sculpture series.
With Untitled, Kato conveys the organic shape of stones in a stack of partially hand-painted bronze blocks, marking a departure from previous works in both form and origin. Each sculpture portrays Kato’s iconic wide-eyed humanoid creature, at once evoking a soft sense of primitivism while also alluding to the far-flung future.
Location: K11 Sculpture Park, 6F, K11 MUSEA
