Sci-Fi Nostalgic Dragon Sculptures

Takahiro Komuro and Avant Art Join on the Ground Dragon

— May 19, 2022 — Art & Design
Japanese artist Takahiro Komuro works together on a special edition of the Ground Dragon sculpture alongside Avant Arte. The sculpture boasts a bronze hue throughout and is inspired by a variety of sci-fi movies that stem from the artist's childhood.

He often incorporates his youth experience in his work -- growing up in Tokyo, the artist grew up close to metalworking factories and has since gained an understanding of working with materials such as wood, clay, metal, and rocks. The sculpture is limited to only 30 pieces and the bronze is made possible with an iridescent paint job. It also has the artist's signature that is engraved under the right foot of the dragon and the edition number under the left foot.
