the impressive sculptures of hiroyuki hamada bridges the contrasting conceptions of the industrial and the organic through his minimal yet highly complex process of painting, digging and drilling.
“I’ve been working with plaster for the past 13 years or so. Initially I used it to mix with my paintings. As my paintings got thicker and more object-like, I started stretching burlap on wood panels and wood boxes to coat them with plaster before I painted on them. After a while, they started to take irregular shapes and they became more like sculptures on the wall” -hiroyuki hamada
