Takahiro Komuro’s Ground Dragon translates childhood fantasies into iridescent bronze.

Growing up in the 1990s, Komuro’s sculptures are inspired by a range of cultural influences, including sci-fi films like Star Wars and Jurassic Park – “Everything I experienced was astonishing and I wanted to crystalise that.”

“Cute but shocking,” Ground Dragon aligns itself with the artist’s wider vinyl figurines. Komuro begins his process with a digital render, before transforming them into intricate sculptures made from a variety materials – in this case, bronze.

Takahiro Komuro2 collaborationsBrightly coloured gloss sculptures by Takahiro Komuro balance fantasy with horror. Dragons, children and chimeric creatures sport double heads, many limbs and elongated necks. They range in size from small vinyl toys to large, life-sized creations. As the artist describes, they are “cute but shocking,” inspiring “a sense of discomfort.” Komuro begins his process with a digital render. Then he translates them into sculptures made of materials including bronze, wood and fibreglass. The artist is part of a generation blurring the boundaries between fine art and design. Alongside the likes of Kaws and Michael Lau.
