Akio OHMORI 日本新生代雕塑家大森曉生，曾經在二O一一年舉辦一場以收容所 犬貓為主題的個展「群光肖像」，探討安樂死議題，藉以雕刻收 容所內的動物，表達出整體社會對收容所內生命意義的反思。大 森曉生創作的依據正是以零安樂死著稱的熊本市立收容所，充滿 生命張力 的動物雕塑，結合日本傳統木雕工 藝及漆藝，細膩、完整地呈現了動 物的心境。將雕刻藝術融入日常生活 中，是大森曉生的創作理念。他不但善於描 繪動物細膩表情，更使用隱晦、深沉、暗喻 性手法表現出個人之於整個社會文化甚至家庭、城 市、歷史等等。他希望能透過作品，對環境議題產生省 思，也希望表達對社會時事的關心，讓藝術更貼近生活。 As a member of a new generation of Japanese sculptors, Akio Ohmori held a solo exhibition in 2011, with dogs and cats in animal shelters as his main theme to discuss the topic of animal euthanasia. By sculpting the sheltered animals, he expresses reflections by society about the meaning of life inside these shelters. Ohmori’s work was based on the Kumamoto Municipal Animal Care Center, which employed a “zero euthanization” policy that gained widespread recognition. With his sculpture imbued with the animals’ power of life, combined with Japanese traditional wood sculpture craftsmanship and lacquerworks, the thoughts of the animals are expressed completely in detail. Akio Ohmori’s working mindset is to combine the art of sculpture into everyday lives. Not only is he talented in portraying subtle expressions of animals, he is also able to use implicit, hidden and metaphoric means of expression to reflect the relationship between individuals, society, and culture. Furthermore, he also reflects upon the relationships of family, city, history and more. He hopes that his works can make a call for examination about environmental issues, while also express his concerns about society, and bring arts closer to everyday life.
