Trespassers Verdigris, consecrated into bronze, embodies the technical prowess of James Jean and Haroshi’s collaborative composition.
Axe thrown over his shoulder, a mischievous Woodcutter emerges from the forest with a freshly-felled GUZO under his arm. Engraved faces look out from the wheels of his rippling skateboard, inspired by the tree-dwelling Kami spirits said to assist hunter-gatherers in Japanese folklore. The delicate texture of GUZO's body is derived from recycled skateboards – stacked, glued and carved by Haroshi to create his sculptures – and calls to themes of community and counter-culture.
Each sculpture is finished with distinctive verdigris pigment, creating a unique oxidised green tint on the surface of the bronze.
