Tag: muscle sculptures

Japanese sculptor Masao Kinoshita is prolific in a variety of media — wood, clay, plaster, bronze, stone. His works take an interest in the extreme physical feats of the human anatomy and add to these feats with fantastical details culled from folklore, mythology and religion. A prominent series in Konishita's body of work is his muscle sculpture series, which exposes what lies beneath a creature's skin. Much like the "Bodies" exhibit that toured across American museums, the sculpture series displays the intricacies of our flesh.
