Yuichi Hirako exhibits a large-scale installation at The Modern Institute in Glasgow that combines acrylic paintings with wooden sculptures, highlighting our connection with nature amidst modernity. His work encourages viewers to reassess their awareness of natural elements intermingled with human technology, presenting both vivid and diverse compositions that depict various subjects ranging from wildlife to domestic items. Central to the installation is the figure of the 'tree man,' a reflection of personal experience and cultural tradition, inviting contemplative interaction and making a statement on environmental consciousness and coexistence.
Hirako's vivid figurative style is rich in metaphor, exploring the connection between art and nature and prompting a reconsideration of human interactions with the natural world.
The installation, a diverse community of things, portrays nature's subtle invasion of human spaces, evoking a dialogue on our awareness of the greenery around us.
