David Umemoto

October 23, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in 2019, Art, Canada, Portfolios, Sculpture

Canadian artist David Umemoto creates Escher-esque concrete miniature pieces that evoke temporary buildings or monuments standing on far-away lands.

“The images conveyed in the mind by these works are numerous. They refer to the archaic and the ephemeral, despite the solidity and the modernity of the medium. Appearing before our eyes are pre-Columbian rock dwellings, god statues from the Andes or Easter Island, steles deteriorated by rain, remnants of modern cities having survived a cataclysm, fragments of Babylonian cities, colonial settlements brought down to their foundations, cenotaphs abandoned in the jungle…”
