“My work is like a diary, like a poem,” says Fumiya Watanabe, who interprets each day experiences and feelings into poignant wood sculptures. Primarily based in Gifu, Japan, the artist studied wooden carving throughout college, then later with a grasp Inami artisan. Honing a technical understanding of the medium prompted Watanabe to immortalize issues he noticed and skilled into delicate artworks.
The artist spends time doodling in his free time, cataloguing issues he has seen. “My feelings appear in various forms,” he tells Colossal. “Events in my daily life, things from the past, people around me, and the dogs and cats I live with also come to me…. I am not trying to convey some big message in my works. I just give form to what I feel. I want the viewer to freely interpret and enjoy them.”
Watanabe’s work will likely be on view in a solo exhibition in Tokyo at msb gallery from June 13 to 23. Discover extra on the artist’s web site, and comply with updates on Instagram.
