Wood Sculptors
Yoshitoshi Kanemaki
japanese artist yoshitoshi kanemaki departs from the traditional norms of wood carving techniques by introducing surreal motifs into his sculptural work. chiseled from tree bark, many of kanemaki’s larger-than-life sized works defy ordinary anatomy and physical proportion, adding unnatural ‘glitches’ to the human body. the figures’ facial features and forms are manipulated beyond their normal boundaries, with 12-headed girls, wavy-shaped females, and 4-eyed faces deviating from traditional portraiture to dreamlike depictions.

Leonardo Drew
Leonardo Drew:Although often mistaken for accumulations of found objects, his sculptures are instead made of “brand new stuff”—materials such as wood, rusted iron, cotton, paper, and mud—that he intentionally subjects to processes of weathering, burning, oxidation, and decay. Whether jutting out from a wall or traversing rooms as freestanding installations, his pieces challenge the architecture of the space in which they’re shown.

Joel Shapiro
Joel Shapiro: Subverting the distinctions between abstraction and representation, Shapiro reconsiders the modern figurative tradition, creating abstract geometric sculpture that elicits a sense of movement and engages viewers’ physical and psychological relationships with space.
