Toshihiko Mitsuya

Since his childhood, Toshihiko Mitsuya has been playing and making sculptures using aluminum foil as part of his work. His installation “The indignant”, which aligned 300 sculptures and is considered to be a reconstruction of his childhood, won the Taro Award 2010 for Taro Okamoto Award for Contemporary Art.

After moving to Germany, Mitsuya used 0.2mm thick aluminum foil to create more complex and elaborate sculptures. In “The Aluminum Garden – Structural Studies of Plants” which he started working on in 2014, he has been studying the structure of plants and formed an organic garden with sculptures of various plant motifs.

This exhibition will use two ﬂoors of the gallery to showcase new sculptures and relief works, creating reﬂections that respond to the surrounding environment by using mirror-ﬁnished aluminum foil. Also, two-dimensional works carved on stainless steel with a grinder will be presented.
