Resigned to the fact that few of us are destined to see with our own eyes that very bright future, for the benefit of which armies of scientists, researchers, inventors, architects and designers work, creative people endowed with rich imagination and vivid imagination prefer to create this future on their own. In drawings, photo art, installations and sculptures, we see this future from the point of view of each of them. Moreover, some have the wildest fantasies associated with flying houses and winged cars, others imagine everything around as dull and gray, barren and scorched by fire and sun, and the Japanese sculptor Chu Enoki sees in the future amazing steel cities like his sculpture RPM-1200 … No, Chu Enoki never dreamed of becoming a builder or architect - he longed for creative realization, looked for ways and opportunities for self-expression … But his family was not rich enough to provide a talented child with the necessary materials. And then the young sculptor decided to create art from what no one needs anymore, which means that it costs nothing. This is how he began to create his sculptures from old drills and car parts found in a landfill, scraps of wires and metal waste. And if the material is non-standard, then expect an extraordinary result.
24-year-old Chu Enoki held his first solo exhibition of metal sculptures "Generation" back in 1968 - and became famous. After moving to the United States, he gained even more popularity, his steel cities became even larger, and his structures were even more complex. But the biggest and most famous work of the master is sculpture. RPM-1200, this huge (height 3, 4 meters and width 4, 6 meters) steel metropolis made of old car parts and other scrap metal.
The city of the future, RPM-1200 is called not just a model of a futuristic metropolis, an interesting idea of a sculptor-dreamer, but they also see it as a symbol of the industry of the future, its technological power and prosperity. Until November 27, the sculpture will be in the Hyogo Museum of Art gallery. Read more on the author's website, Chu Enoki.
