Yoshitoshi Kanemaki’s surreal juxtaposed wood sculptures: where reality and imagination converge

Japanese artist Yoshitoshi Kanemaki wields his chisel with remarkable precision, transforming giant pieces of camphor wood into life-sized figurative sculptures. These captivating works blur the boundaries between reality and imagination, inviting viewers into a world where time and space overlap. Each sculpture features two or more characters merged into a single form — an intriguing fusion of multiple expressions and perspectives.

Some figures have multiple faces attached to their heads, while others blend body parts with another person. The haunting sculptures, like skeletons merged with scrawny human bodies, evoke contemplation on mortality and the enigmatic nature of existence.
