Here is a unique work information of Yuichi Hirako’s “Leaf Beetle 2” 2014 from CURIO private sales.
｜Yuichi Hirako questions how we relate to the nature
A mythical character that looks like part human and the part plant often appears in the work of Yuichi Hirako. And it is said that this being is indispensable to his work to symbolize the relationship between nature and mankind.
I think that the artist expresses his ideal world that nature and humanity live in mutual resonance with each other, as we human are also part of nature after all.
However, inexplicable natural disaster on a global scale has been happening since. Isn’t this a warning from nature to human beings that we have been behaving arrogantly and egotistically?
From website NewSphere
The work we are introducing today feels a little different from his recent work and I see that this piece depicts a surreal world that involves layers of stories.
What this yellow, spiritless figure with a tree-head is meant to be? Does this character represent nature that contines to be destroyed by mankind…
This work makes us think about how we relate to nature.
