Yasushi Koyaman<\/strong> yksityisn\u00e4yttely Herra Otso<\/em> avautuu Galleria Ars Liberassa perjantaina 27.5.2022.<\/p>\n

”Muinaisina aikoina karhua palvottiin mets\u00e4n jumalana, niin Suomessa kuin Japanissakin. Japanilaisen alkuper\u00e4iskansan, ainujen karhufestivaali oli rituaaliseremonia ja festivaali, jossa karhun sielu sek\u00e4 mets\u00e4n henget l\u00e4hetettiin t\u00e4st\u00e4 maailmasta toiseen maailmaan. Ihminen on uskonut, ett\u00e4 karhuissa on jotain pyh\u00e4\u00e4. He ovat puhuneet karhun kautta mets\u00e4n n\u00e4kym\u00e4tt\u00f6m\u00e4lle el\u00e4m\u00e4lle. Karhumaailma, jonka luon puusta k\u00e4sin talttaa k\u00e4ytt\u00e4en, on mielest\u00e4ni rituaalinen seremonia mets\u00e4n kunnioittamiseksi.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4yttelyss\u00e4 esit\u00e4n puusta, kivest\u00e4 ja keramiikasta tehtyj\u00e4 karhuveistoksia sek\u00e4 koivupuusta tehdyn installaation karhumets\u00e4n ilment\u00e4miseksi. Suurin ty\u00f6 on puuveistos nimelt\u00e4 Karhun kalaonni<\/em> (155 x 50 x 50 cm). Tein sen Suvisaaren venetehtaalla, jonka Kuopion muotoiluakatemian taiteilijaresidenssi j\u00e4rjesti minulle. Teosta ovat inspiroineet Kuopion pronssinen, kaloja kantava Veljmies<\/em>-patsas, kalakukko, muikkuravintola Sammon kalaruoat sek\u00e4 ainujen karhuveistokset. Karhun kalaonni<\/em> -veistos lahjoitetaan n\u00e4yttelyn j\u00e4lkeen Kuopion yliopistolliselle sairaalalle.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4yttelyn nimi on Herra Otso<\/em>. Ajattelen mets\u00e4\u00e4 tilana, jossa ihminen kohtaa \u00e4itiluonnon. Me ihmiset olemme osa luontoa ja osa maapalloa. Olemme kohdanneet ilmastonmuutoksen ja luonnonkatastrofit. Ajattelen uudelleen ihmisen ja luonnon suhdetta k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4 metaforaa karhusta, Herra Otsosta<\/em>, mets\u00e4n jumalana kansanperinteen ja antropologian n\u00e4k\u00f6kulmasta. N\u00e4yttelyss\u00e4ni haluan ilmaista karhun mets\u00e4antropologiaa Suomessa ja Japanissa.<\/p>\n

Tekemi\u00e4ni el\u00e4inveistoksia on kuvailtu s\u00f6p\u00f6iksi, viattomiksi ja humoristisiksi. Suurin osa puuveistoksista on tehty yhdest\u00e4 puusta k\u00e4sin talttaa k\u00e4ytt\u00e4en. Olen oppinut perinteist\u00e4 puunveistoa maorien, ainujen, sz\u00e9kelien ja suomalaisten kuvanveist\u00e4jilt\u00e4. Suomalainen luonto, muotoilu ja kuvitus, suomalaisten taiteilijoiden Katja Tukiaisen ja Kim Simonssonin taide sek\u00e4 Muumit ovat my\u00f6s inspiroineet minua. My\u00f6s japanilaisella mangalla, animella ja Yoshitomo Naran neo-pop-taiteella on ollut vahva vaikutus taiteelliseen kieleeni.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4yttely\u00e4 ja ty\u00f6skentely\u00e4ni tukee Taiteen edist\u00e4miskeskus. Kaksi n\u00e4yttelyn veistosta on tehty Serlachius-residenssiss\u00e4 M\u00e4nt\u00e4ss\u00e4.”<\/p>\n

Yasushi Koyama: Herra Otso<\/strong>
\n\u2212 animal sculptures and installation<\/p>\n

28.5.\u201319.6.2022 | Galleria Ars Libera, Maaherrankatu 3, Kuopio<\/p>\n

Open: Wed\u2013Fri 14\u201318 + Sat\u2013Sun 12\u201317.<\/p>\n

Opening on Friday 27.5. at 18\u201320. Welcome!<\/p>\n

Yasushi Koyama’s<\/strong> solo exhibition Herra Otso<\/em> opens at Galleria Ars Libera on Friday 27.5.2022<\/p>\n

”In ancient times, the bear was worshiped as the god of the forest. It is the same in Finland and Japan. The bear festival of Japanese native Ainu was a ritual ceremony and a festival to send the soul of the bear and spirits of the forest from this world to another world. Human beings have entrusted something sacred to bears. They have talked with an invisible existence of the forest through a bear. I consider that the bear world which I create with wood by hand chisels is a ritual ceremony to respect the forest.<\/p>\n

In the exhibition, I show bear sculptures from wood, stone, ceramic, and an installation of white birch wood to express the bear forest. The largest work is the wood sculpture Fishing luck of the bear<\/em> (155 x 50 x 50 cm). I created it at the Suvisaari boat factory which was introduced to me by the Kuopio Academy of Design. The work has been influenced by Kuopio’s fish-holding bronze statue Veljmies<\/em>, the kalakukko delicacy, fish restaurant Sampo and Ainu bear sculptures. Fishing luck of the bear will be donated to Kuopio University Hospital after the exhibition.<\/p>\n

The title of the exhibition is Herra Otso (Mister Otso)<\/em>. I consider the forest as a space where human beings meet mother nature. We human beings are a part of nature and a part of the Earth. We have faced climate change and natural disasters. I rethink of the relationship between human and nature by using the metaphor of the bear, Herra Otso<\/em>, as the god of forest through the viewpoint of folklore and anthropology. In my exhibition, I would like to express the forest anthropology of the bear in Finland and Japan.<\/p>\n

My animal figures are described as ”cute, innocent and humorous”. Most of my wood works are made from one piece of wood by using hand chisels. I have learned traditional wood sculpturing from Maori, Ainu, Sz\u00e9kely and Finnish sculptors. Finnish nature, design & illustration, Finnish artists Katja Tukiainen & Kim Simonsson, and Finnish cartoon Moomin have inspired me. Similarly, the Japanese Manga, Anime, Yoshitomo Nara’s neo-pop art have also strongly influenced my artistic language.<\/p>\n

The exhibition and my work are supported by Arts Promotion Centre Finland. Two of the sculptures in the exhibition were made at the Serlachius residency in M\u00e4ntt\u00e4.”<\/p>\n
