Yuichi Hirako
1 collaboration
Yuichi Hirako explores plants, animals and humans. Environmental research is key. He looks into historical data, literature and internet resources. What he finds informs his drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations. Canvases with swirling acrylic brushstrokes depict fantastical forests – seen as sacred in Japan. Sculptures are made from fibreglass or wood. Many works centre on the ‘tree man.’ He has the body of a human, face of a tree and deer antlers. The artist sees the character as representing a connection to nature.
