Bringing the fantastical to life: the enchanting insect sculptures of Hiroshi Shinno

Have you ever encountered an insect unlike any you’ve seen before? The captivating sculptures of Japanese artist Hiroshi Shinno blur the lines between reality and imagination, crafting insects that are both strangely familiar and wonderfully fantastical. Shinno’s meticulous works are crafted from resin and brass, meticulously rendered to capture the intricate details of the insect world, yet boasting fantastical features that propel them into the realm of mythical creatures.

Shinno’s process begins with meticulous sketches, ensuring each creation is imbued with his unique vision. He then brings his fantastical insects to life through a combination of resin casting and brasswork. The resin allows for the creation of the insect’s body, often boasting an array of striking colors and otherworldly textures. Brass elements are then incorporated to add a touch of realism and permanence to the sculptures. The final result is a captivating fusion of the natural and the fantastical, leaving viewers to marvel at the beauty and wonder of these extraordinary insects.
