Makoto Egashira the Japanese artist who covers spaces, objects and human figures with floral print rococo blankets. Precious objects that were easily found in homes, during the economic rise of Japan, after the war.
The installations often represent domestic scenes. They are interiors like small bathrooms, dining rooms or living rooms.
They synthesize Japan’s eternal conflict with Western culture. That relationship of love and hate that makes the Eastern world so far, but fascinating for us.
Makoto Egashira and his sculptural works of art
Born in 1986 and graduated in Tokyo at the Department of Sculpture, of the Faculty of Art and Design, he obtained several international awards.
In his curriculum, even solo exhibition where he expressed his artistic and research work to the maximum.
In all of the works the typical features of a Japanese interior are recognizable. Hand in hand with their culture. From slippers, always left on the thresholds, to the classic teacups. All rigorously covered with this overloaded floral print fabric.
Stampe all over per Makoto Egashira
The website is Japanese only, on the other hand he does not need many words. His work speaks clearly. A strong and clear idea that takes its cue from its origins and traditions and expands towards a philosophical reflection that connects the two cultures.
