Kyotaro Hakamata 袴田京太朗

Born in 1963 in Shizuoka, lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.

Kyotaro Hakamata is a sculptor well known for his colorful striped sculptures. Stripes are visually strong so that they destroy your sight. Your recognition will be disturbed by the stripes to perceive the sculpture’s shape and its texture. Another feature of Hakamata’s works is duplication. The same motifs are often created in different sizes or one ready-made product is cut and built into two sculptures which are exactly in the same shape of the original product. Duplication is quietly asking us of what is real and what is not whether there is a boundary within the two. His sculptures and installation unseal your subconsciousness.

1963 年出生於日本靜岡縣，現生活和工作於日本東京。

袴田京太朗是一位雕塑家，以其彩色條紋雕塑而聞名。條紋在視覺上很強烈，以至於會破壞觀眾的視線。你的認知會受到條紋的干擾，無法感知雕塑的形狀和紋理。袴田的作品的另一個特點是重複。相同的圖案通常會被製作成不同的尺寸，或者將一件現成的產品切割並製成兩件與原始產品形狀完全相同的雕塑。複製在悄悄地問我們什麼是真實的，什麼不是真實的，兩者之間是否有界限。他的雕塑和裝置將會開啟你的潛意識大門。
