Hirofumi Fujiwara is inspired by the diversity of people he encounters in his everyday life. When observing these multifaceted personalities, however, the artist does not so much claim to reproduce them in detail. Rather, he is on the lookout for details of the many, diverse people you collect for his artistic projects. The collection of different character traits and personality traits that characterize each person individually and can be received in a variety of ways from different perspectives, then serve him as a catalog of motifs for his works. Thus, he uses the observations to create equally individual figures. Each of the naturalistic sculptures made of clay and plastic differs from the others in small details and is therefore unique in two respects.
Hirofumi Fujiwara describes the creation process of his figures as a chain of coincidental moments. Since all he has left are his memories of what he has seen, the artist allows himself to be guided by the elaborate working process itself. At the beginning of each sculpture, there is only a rough idea. Where the creative journey will lead him is completely unclear. Every step of the work, every decision for or against the expression of a figure element influences the steps that follow.
In his latest project Hirofumi Fujiwara deals with the theme "Utopia". These sculptures are not so much models of man in the future, rather he creates figures of a parallel world. In contrast to his earlier works, the sculptures in this series are united by the element of concealment. This aspect of mystery is implemented through the use of transparent walls, which are constructed around the figures like a protective wall. Only upon closer inspection can one guess the essence of each individual figure behind Plexiglas, silicone drops, or straws.
In 2025, his work will be presented by MASSOUMI Gallery in collaboration with Drewes Galerie as part of the Boutique Art Fair 2025.
