  • Minoru Ohira (1950-* Japanese / Los Angeles, CA)

    Minoru Ohira (1950-* Japanese / Los Angeles, CA)

    Est: $500 - $700

    ''Plumaje de Quetzal'', abstract wood construction, 1986, appears unsigned, paint on wood and fiber, 32'' H x 34'' W, est: $500/700. Note: Minoru Ohira's assemblage constructions incorporate the artist's first-hand experiences exploring and creating art in three distinct cultures: his native Japan, Aztec, Toltec and Mayan artistry in Mexico and contemporary American art gleaned from his recent decades in Los Angeles and San Gabriel. An early focus on large-scale stone sculptures in Japan yielded to the use of found and recycled materials beginning when the artist moved to Mexico in the late 1970s. The artist lived three years in Mexico before settling permanently in the Los Angeles area. Childhood interest in nature's patterning and variety seen in spider webs, bird nests and cocoons influenced the artist throughout his career. The present construction mimics these natural patterns as well as basketry design but in an unexpected bas-relief form. Wooden pieces and branches set at a dynamic diagonal pattern create a rhythmic surface of controlled yet organic movement. Ohira received the prestigious Denchu Hirakushi Award in Japan in 2013 for his woodcarving skills. His assemblages and sculptures can be found in many local museum collections including LACMA and Long Beach Museum of Art as well as important international institutions.
