Ryoichi Fujisaki Solo : Dimensional Sculpture 

Alpha Contemporary is proud to present 「Ryoichi Fujisaki : Dimensional Sculpture」from March 8 to March 22, 2025.​

​​

Ryoichi Fujisaki (Japnaese b.1975) expresses in his sculptures the mysterious sense of spatial expansion that one feels when confronted with nature and dry landscape water.

Fujisaki expresses the natural landscape that conceals an endless cosmic landscape connected to it through the forms in front of his eyes in three-dimensional sculptures and two-dimensional works that he creates based on the sense of his own body, as well as in works that are output from these data with a 3D printer.

This exhibition presents a series of beautiful and powerful sculptural landscapes that are transformed by sudden events of integration and disintegration, shifting from one three dimension to another three dimension and  to two dimension.

This series of integration and disintegration unfolds in a single exhibition space, creating a large landscape of dry landscape that awakens the viewer's senses and perceptions.

The three-dimensional sculptures, which are formed based on physical intuition, are integrated into a single landscape through the accidental combination of the individual surfaces, which have no image of a unified form, through repetitive movements. In order to freely use his physical senses, Fujisaki uses unexpected materials that are soft yet able to retain their shape.

Fujisaki's three-dimensional sculptures are scanned as data and printed out on a 3D printer in different sizes, colors, and orientations. These output sculptures are separated from the original sculptures and are there as separate entities. These sculptures are displayed randomly or intentionally on the walls of the exhibition space, allowing visitors to experience the strange sensation of them appearing integrated into the overall landscape.

Also on view in this exhibition will be the “Scan” series of two-dimensional works, which are created by recording the surface of the material on the sticker surface of the back side of a cutting sheet.

Fujisaki says that the surface of the peeled material is a two-dimensional sculpture. By putting a surface into an empty space, sculpture creates the form of the contents. What has a surface has content and is a sculpture. Unlike paintings, which are created by the intentional act of painting, the “Scan” series are surfaces created by the accumulation of chance. It is not a painting. The accidental traces appear as an integrated landscape, just like Fujisaki's three-dimensional sculptures. Like Fujisaki's three-dimensional sculptures, they are an integrated landscape, a new and expanded landscape.

We hope that you will experience the beauty and dynamism in the form of the leap forward through a series of coincidences, combinations, integrations, and deconstructions that are consistently found in Fujisaki's work. I hope you will experience with all your senses the dynamic and beauty of the universe that the sculptures re-create.
