Kenji Yanobe
Kenji Yanobe graduated from Graduate School of Art, Kyoto City University of Arts in 1991. Inspired by the theme of survival in a modern society, he created numerous large-scale mechanical sculptures that can move or even be worn or ridden from the beginning of 1990. With the dawn of the 21st century, he has shifted his focus to the topic of revival and continued his prolific creative output, fascinting the world with works that transcend the framework of conventional art.
