彫刻 稲葉令司 / Sculptor  INABA Reizi

1981 年、神奈川県生まれ  日本古来の木彫技法「一木造り」にて少年少女像を制作。あらゆる意味で曖昧な境界線に漂う少年少女たちの脆さや美しさ通じて、人間の本質や神秘性を木彫にて表現。木と対話しながら、未来への可能性を探る。

Born in Kanagawa in 1981, Inaba uses a traditional Japanese sculpture technique called “Ichiboku-zukuri,” or carving from one piece of wood, to create statues of boys and girls. By visualizing the ambiguous beauty and fragility of boys and girls who drift about over a borderline zone, he conveys to the viewers such concepts as the essence and mystique of humanity. Inaba communicateswith wood, and explores the future possibilities of sculpture.
