The healing aesthetics in the coexistence of wildness and solitude- Satoru Koizumi

Born in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan in 1983, Satoru Koizumi graduated from the Okinawa University of the Arts, the Plastic Art Program. He published a series of woodcarving works of children wearing animal costumes in 2010. The children dressed in animal coats have a look of confusion and loneliness in their eyes, under their lovely appearance, he depicts the solitary in everyone's heart. Living in the city for a long time, we are bound to get rid of the “savageness” and become a group that is getting far and away from nature and our sensibility is destined to gradually get weakening. With humanism as the core idea, the sculptures of Satoru Koizumi retain natural lines and textures, under the adorable animal coats, there is a healing warmth but nevertheless shed a sense of isolation. But when confronting with the nature, the animal limbs vivid as life still remind us that under the social framework, the connection between human being and all things in nature is nonetheless inseparable.
