Kojun Sculptures
American, b. 1977
Kojun is a self-taught American multimedia artist born in 1977 who lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. Working on his life experiences in Japan and building on his original university studies focusing on Japanese society, religion, and aesthetics, Kojun’s work explores the experiences of beauty glimpsed in everyday life. Having focused at university on Japanese society, religion, and aesthetics, he returned to his studies in Japan to pick up threads from Zen spirituality, Japanese aesthetics and the conception of mono-no-aware: the transient beauty of the ever-changing world. He continues to expand his perspective with resonant ideas from other traditions such as Daoist, Stoicism, and Neoplatonic philosophy. In these explorations, he has found all pointing in a certain direction: Showing a way forward by awakening to the beauty in every moment. Moving into visual expression in multiple media starting in 2019, this way of thinking is expressed in his artist’s name Kojun, written using characters conveying the idea of illuminating and enriching the soul. He seeks to engage with soul-enriching experiences of beauty in everyday moments. Realized in a variety of media, the pieces he creates are meant to serve as tools for the heart, objects for contemplation as markers on the path to illumination.(Biography provided by galerie bruno massa)

Wall-mounted, hollow concrete heart sculpture
Hand-signed by the artist
Original artwork
This wall-mounted, sculptural work is in the shape of a large heart which appears to be made of brick and covered in concrete render. However the bricks are thin ceramic tiles, laid on a hollow fibreglass shell, meaning the work is lighter than expected, and easily wall mounted with the use of a backing plate provided. The work has an urban feel, suggesting inner city decay. The graffiti refers to an underground street artist who met an untimely death.
