Enjoy short movies below which Yoshida himself is introducing the brand new works for the upcoiming artfair.
Message from the artists：
It is a "dog" and a "papier-mâché".
I use traditional Japanese handicraft Inu hariko, a paier-mâché dog as my motif.
In my artwork, the dog papier-mâché is used as a symbol of "emptiness" ”superficial" "cosmetics' and so on.
On top of the dog shaped sculpture which is empty inside, I paint traditional Japanese patterns and urban landscapes to express contemporary Japan ironically.
My understanding of "current Tokyo" is a mixture of Japanese and Western cultures, and also contains the fragility of modern cities in general.
I have captured and expressed these through my artworks.
