Art Hound

I came across this exhibit by Nobuhito Nishigawara by chance walking through the Lower East Side. I don’t have any strong attachment to Asian art but the metal and terracotta animal sculpture I saw at Tally Beck captured my heart. The playful and quirky conception of each animal is nothing if not fresh and inspiring while the materials and basic iconography, on the other hand, reference historical art of both Japan and the ancient world.
