Chimera – Nana Koutzuka
In 2010 one of the foremost women’s art universities in Japan started a new program in sculpture and I think Nana Koutzuka (江塚奈々) is one of their first graduates, exhibiting this wonderful statue called Chimera (キメラ) at the National Art Center earlier in March. It’s an amazing work and I really hope to see more of her work in the future! The title of course is an allusion to the mythical beast of ancient greek legends, the Chimera, but also the same word is used in modern Japanese science to denote a creature made up of parts of different creatures, as in this mix of farmyard animals. I wonder if we will ever see a real on of these?

Noooo… I don’t want to see this is real life. A mouse is already a bother, add a chicken and a lamb, oh, I think the sculpture is enough thank you. But it’s an amazing full of creativity ark work, btw.
Hahaha… yes! I do love farm yard animals though… (^-^)
Amazing work….what kind of material is it made of? Stone?
Some things are made for sculpturing and painting….and thats it. – No real life version , please. It’s going to be too disturbing to be good ><
Haha… I don’t really know the material. I don’t think we’ll ever see one of those on the farms around our cities in the future! (^-^;)
