Light carving artist Yurukawafu
Contemporary Art | Light Sculpture Artist | Yurukawafu
"Hikaribori™" is an original technique that was first invented in the world by artist Yurukawa Fuu in 2008.
By shining white LED light through the building insulation material "Styrofoam" from behind, vivid colors are emitted.
Furthermore, by carving the surface of the insulation and varying the thickness, the thinner areas appear lighter and the thicker areas appear darker, creating a play of light and shadow.
The landscapes depicted on familiar industrial products have a sense of spaciousness and transparency that cannot be expressed with conventional art materials, and the texture of the motifs, expressed in a wide variety of ways, gives us a sense of realism that is almost compelling.
Enjoy a new and exciting art experience.
