Hiroko Kubo
Featuring sculptures created from familiar materials such as blue sheets, iron, and concrete commonly seen at construction sites, as well as statues and pottery, Hiroko Kubo presents sculptural works that reinterpret the forms of prayer that have existed in daily life since ancient times, focusing on themes of agriculture and idols.
In recent years, Kubo has gained attention for her dynamic installation works that resonate with the local environment, presented at events like the Setouchi International Art Festival 2016 and the Saitama International Art Festival 2020. Drawing inspiration from prehistoric art and theories of cultural anthropology, her creations carry the positive energy of life, serving as a motif for the support of the human spirit that continues to endure amidst harsh nature. At a time when people often find themselves at a crossroads contemplating "life" in the face of natural disasters, Kubo's work seems to respond to our search for emotional anchors.
This exhibition will showcase approximately 60 pieces, including new works like "Goddess of Iron Bones" using windbreak nets. Alongside various three-dimensional works such as amulets made of concrete and pottery made of blue sheets, there will also be plans to exhibit two-dimensional works in the windows of the first floor of the Pola Ginza Building during the exhibition period.
