Bunpei Kado
Bunpei Kado combines everyday materials rather than creating from scratch. Motifs in his works include houses, cranes, a souvenir from Osaka Castle, bears, chairs and tanks. However, once the artist works on them, those materials become a part from everyday life.
Kado does not seem to aim for the “beauty” of the Surrealists. Many artists have now been creating works by combining different everyday materials. The impression from Kado’s works, on the other hand, is completely different from this genealogy; it appears humorous and fresh. Looking at the works of his "germination" series, for example, buds stretch out from everything likes of a wooden bear sculpture, chairs, drawers, and brushes. With his works of bonsai, a steel tower supporting transmission lines stands on a pot, distorted like a pine tree.
