Kinya Hanada at Kunstraum Richard Sorge

Kunstraum Richard Sorge's Lunar New Year's reception/exhibition.

 

Installation view: digital collage by Kinya Hanada.

 

Kinya Hanada's recent collages are made in self-imposed stretches of daily productivity, and directly published online, one piece a day. They depict seemingly monumental, shrine-like iconic figures, reminiscent of Asian deities, superheroes or giant toy robots. In their strict digital symmetry and posture, the totemic mirrored figures are sometimes reminiscent of those by Gilbert & George. The collages make use of personal travel and pop culture photos, drawings and paper cutting. Entirely made in Photoshop, they fool the spectator with their crafty appearance of hand made collages: paper structure, relief, shadows and scissor cutting traces.
