Introduction by LA Artcore executive director, Lydia Takeshita ------------
Growing up in Japan, sculptor Jyoji Kubo, states that since he was a child he loved making art, and that this was not taught but innate. As Kubo’s developed as an artist and through his studies in Japan and Spain, his goal has become to evoke or make visible our connection to others, and the qualities that link us together and with the universe. Kubo’s forms, which are made out of washi-paper, seem primal and futuristic at the same time. Although unique in shape they bring to mind, missiles, cocoons, and larvae. Important concepts in his work are ones of floatation and gravity; as Kubo states they express “the massive cosmic world and human beings” and their place within the cosmos. Using long branches as connectors, Kobu’s modular sculptures can be lifted to great heights by the wood extensions, or linked to the earth by the downward pull of gravity. His modular works are composed of four quarters, which can be divided between the wall, the floor, or balanced up high. Thus in their fluidity they take up different identities in new spaces, and myriad possibilities for renewal are present in each sculpture.
