About Artist

Takahiro Komuro

Born in 1985. A sculptor based in Tokyo. Influenced by the toy culture of the 1980s and 1990s and Japanese views of faith , he develops his own unique world of sculpture, primarily using wood carvings and soft vinyl. With a critical perspective that reinterprets sculpture as “worship,” he creates works that address the hollowing out of faith and institutions in modern times.

Exhibition Theme

The exhibition showcases three distinct series:

“Mushussu” blends horror aesthetics with RPG final-boss designs, reimagining the “sublime” in a world of consumption.
The “Heads” series critiques the ambiguity of worship, combining public, toy, and statue elements to question the boundaries of reverence.
A soft vinyl dragon statue reverses the concept of modern personal altars, reducing sculpture to a toy-like form.

Don’t miss the chance to explore this thought-provoking exploration of faith, sculpture, and modern worship!
