Takahiro Komuro’s Ground Dragon translates childhood fantasies into iridescent bronze.
Growing up in the 1990s, Komuro’s sculptures are inspired by a range of cultural influences, including sci-fi films like Star Wars and Jurassic Park – “Everything I experienced was astonishing and I wanted to crystalise that.”
“Cute but shocking,” Ground Dragon aligns itself with the artist’s wider vinyl figurines. Komuro begins his process with a digital render, before transforming them into intricate sculptures made from a variety materials – in this case, bronze.
