serie “Petal Whispers : Harmony in Pandasan’s Flower Power”

Embarking on an exploration of the artistic landscape created by Hiro Ando, the distinguished Japanese artist, we delve into the essence of his captivating sculptures, specifically the series titled “Pandasan Flower Power.” Within this collection, Ando expertly sculpts pandas painted and varnished in a singular, glossy color, while their bodies feature meticulous chiseling to form intricate metal flowers.

Ando’s creative odyssey often draws inspiration from a profound connection to nature and a celebration of life’s vibrant elements. “Pandasan Flower Power” stands as a testament to this connection, where the artist ingeniously weaves together the gentle charm of pandas with the dynamic energy of blooming flowers. Each precisely carved petal and delicately crafted bloom becomes a brushstroke in Ando’s visual symphony, harmonizing the strength of the panda with the fragility and beauty of nature.

The concept of “flower power” carries historical and cultural resonance, invoking notions of peace, love, and unity from the 1960s counterculture. Ando, with his acute cultural awareness, infuses this spirit into his sculptures, transforming them into symbols of harmony and interconnectedness. The glossy finish of the sculptures adds a layer of sophistication, capturing and reflecting the surrounding world, metaphorically mirroring the interconnected relationships between nature and humanity.

Moreover, the choice of a single color in the body of the pandas may symbolize simplicity or unity, creating a powerful visual impact. The monochromatic hues echo the timeless dance of life’s opposing forces, distilled into a singular, cohesive expression.

In “Pandasan Flower Power,” Hiro Ando not only showcases his technical prowess but also invites viewers into a realm where the inherent beauty of pandas converges with the timeless elegance of flowers. The sculptures, with their intricate details and vibrant aesthetics, encourage contemplation on the delicate balance between the strength of wildlife and the ephemeral grace of flora.

This series serves as a captivating chapter in Ando’s artistic narrative, where the juxtaposition of natural elements transcends the boundaries between sculpture and poetry, creating an immersive experience that resonates with audiences on both visual and emotional levels.

Presentation

Hiro Ando was born in 1973 on the island of Shikoku in Japan. Hiro Ando started his career as an illustrator in 1995. In 2005 he founded with Saori Nakamishi an artist studio in Tokyo to manage the creation and promotion of other young neo-pop artists who express their own popular culture in their creations. Today the studio "Crazynoodles" has ten artists.

Hiro Ando is a versatile artist. He works in oil on canvas, digital media or video. His technique consists of making several sketches before painting on canvas. The painting shapes itself and emerges in the streets of Tokyo at night, and combines lots of colors and graphics. Hiro paints dark cityscapes and goldfish all over the canvas.

The marriage of the two subjects makes the whole of the painting dynamic and violent, with a strange feeling of eternity given by the goldfish which recall old Japanese paintings and watercolors. The sculpture is a recent addition to the media used by Ando, who started working on a series of orange, green sculptures ... inspired by Japanese popular culture. Thus the cat, which is a lucky charm in Japan, like the Maneki-Neko, takes different forms such as the samurai or the sumo wrestler.

The artist translates this theme into a modern style. The shiny and smooth materials, the vivid colors, the brutal but rounded shapes of Hiro Ando's sculptures take us to the world of manga in which the artist's generation grew up. Hiro Ando's art is the meeting between the Meiji era and Manga, he is Shogun in the world of Pokemon, he is traditional Japan seen through the eyes of young people: he certainly belongs to Japanese neo pop art.
