OPEN SITE 9 | TOKAS Recommendation Program
In recent years, contemporary art exhibitions often favor media that rapidly reflect changing social conditions. Karasawa takes a contrasting approach, employing motifs such as mountains and rivers and working with enduring materials to reflect on spans of time that transcend human comprehension. The work in this exhibition showcases Karasawa’s practice while provoking thought on the significance and potential of sculpture in the rapidly evolving realm of contemporary art.

Born in 1987. Works in Aichi. Building on experiences with mountaineering and other high-altitude activities, Karasawa makes mountains and rivers his primary sculptural subjects. He employs a distinctive technique, carving hollows into camphor wood and filling them with melted paraffin wax which then hardens into many-layered formations.
