I love Ken Matsuyama’s artist statement: “Has it been since I entered an elementary school? Or, much before since that I was interested in sex? For some reason, my family talked about “hobby” in those days. I think I didn’t know the meaning of “hobby” well and I asked my mother “What is hobby?”. After she explained it “the things what you like”. She asked me my hobby. I said, “the word starting from E (in Japanese character)” hesitatingly. She asked again, “Do you mean E-WO-KAKUKOTO (that means Drawing pictures in Japanese)?”. But I was nervous and I did not answer her easily. After a while, I replied to her, “ECCHI-NA-KOTO (that means Erotic things in Japanese)”. My mother frowned and scolded me.
My works named “I love boobs” consists of followings : about 30 oil paintings of “Boobs”, sculptures of “Boobs” which were engraved laced designs, “Boobs suit” (wear it, and everyone can have big breats), and “hugging boobs doll” (everyone can hold this stuffed toy).”.
Haha, what a dude! I’d love dunk a few Asahi’s with this guy. Much more good stuff on his site.
