Tadahiro Gunji’s wall-mounted animal forms walk the line between pop and myth. Crafted from hand-cut wood panels, these vibrant, layered pieces turn the logic of collage into something dimensional—like a magazine clipping stepped off the page and into physical space. Each work is an assembly of stylized parts, tails—flattened and rearranged in unexpected ways, echoing the fragmented surrealism of paper cutouts but with the tactile immediacy of sculpture.
Gunji’s animals are part-symbol, part-character: not realistic representations, but spirited avatars that hum with visual rhythm. Bright colors, bold contours, and mismatched patterns pull from the language of pop art, yet the compositions feel ancient and personal—like emblems unearthed from a dream world. In these works, the boundary between play and reverence dissolves.
