今年届いた玩具まとめを執筆中に届いた、彫刻家のコムロタカヒロさんの初の作品集です。
ハードカバー大型本の立派な装丁で、もちろん値は張りますが、100点にも及ぶ作品が網羅されており、眼福の一言です。今年富山で開催されたグループ展に行こうと思っていたんですが、車が故障してしまい行けなかったのが悔やまれます。
雑誌「BRUTUS」などでも、注目の
アーティストとして取り上げられる
彫刻家・コムロタカヒロの初作品集。
怪獣や妖怪を思わせる彫像にビビッドな
色遣い。ポップ&キッチュな作風に熱狂
的ファンをもつコムロワールドが炸裂!
つるりと磨き上げられ、ビビッドな色に塗り上げられたキモカワキャラクターの数々――。ドラゴン、ろくろ首、多頭の怪獣などなど、コムロタカヒロが生み出すキャラクターは、幼少期に観たアメコミのヒーローやSF映画の登場人物、読み漁った書物に出てきた伝説の生物など、さまざまのイメージから着想を得て練り上げられたものです。
ポップ&キッチュ、でもどこか「神聖さ」をも感じされる不可思議な世界観をもつ作品群。そこにはコムロの芸術家としての緻密な技とセンス、そして詳細にわたるリサーチ情報が詰め込まれています。コムロ作品に秘められた「魔力」ともいうべき魅力は、アート業界を越え国内外の多くのフィギュアファンにも支持されるようになりました。
3DCGで作品イメージを描くところから始まるコムロ作品には、木材を中心に、FRP(繊維強化プラスチック)やブロンズなど様々な素材が用いられます。本書に収められた約100点にも及ぶ掲載作品は、正面だけでなく背面からの写真も多く配置。作品に描き込まれた呪文のような文字や記号などのディテールまでしっかり見て取れるデザインが特徴です。
テキストページでは作家インタビューのほか、コムロ作品の芸術性を高く評価する評論家たちの論考原稿も2本掲載。金沢21世紀美術館館長や東京藝術大学大学美術館長などを歴任した秋元雄史、「反アート入門」(幻冬舎)「後美術論」「震美術論」(ともに美術出版社)などの著作で知られる美術評論家・椹木野衣の二人が解くそれぞれのコムロ論はいずれも必読です。
巻末には写真家・平野太呂が切り取った制作現場写真を32ページにわたり収録。コムロ作品の新たな側面が見える一冊となっています。

This is the first collection of sculptor Takahiro Komuro's work that arrived while I was writing this year's toy summary.
It is a fine hardcover large book with a fine binding, and of course it is pricey, but it is an eye-opener, covering 100 pieces of his work. I had planned to visit the group exhibition held in Toyama this year, but my car broke down and I was unable to go.
He has also been featured in the magazine "BRUTUS" as an artist to watch.

This is the first collection of works by sculptor TAKAHIRO KOMURO.
Vivid colors are used in the statues that remind us of monsters and ghosts.
and vivid colors. The Komuro world, with its pop and kitsch style
pop and kitsch style, and has a passionate fan base!
Various creepy-crawly characters polished smooth and painted in vivid colors. Dragons, rokurokubi, multi-headed monsters, and other characters created by TAKAHIRO KOMURO are inspired by the heroes of American comic books and characters from science fiction movies that he saw as a child, legendary creatures from books that he read, and many other images.
His works are pop and kitsch, but also have a mysterious worldview that somehow evokes a sense of the sacred. They are filled with Komuro's meticulous skill and sense as an artist, as well as detailed research information. The "magical" appeal hidden in Komuro's works has transcended the art world and gained the support of many figure fans in Japan and abroad.
Komuro's works, which begin with 3DCG images of his creations, use a variety of materials, including wood, FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic), and bronze. The approximately 100 works included in this book are photographed not only from the front, but also from the back. The design of the book is characterized by its ability to show details such as spell-like letters and symbols painted on the works.
In addition to an interview with the artist, the text pages include two essays by critics who highly evaluate the artistry of KOMURO's works. Both articles are must-reads. The first is by Yushi Akimoto, who has served as director of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa and director of the University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts, while the second is by Noi Sawaragi, an art critic known for her books "Introduction to Anti-Art" (Gentosha), "Later Art Theory" and "Shin Bijutsu Ron" (both from Bijutsu Shuppan).
At the end of the book are 32 pages of photographs of Komuro's works taken by photographer Taro Hirano. This is a book that reveals new aspects of Komuro's work.
