Kazu Hiro
USA/Japan
Born in 1969, Kazu Hiro began his career as a makeup artist in Hollywood, winning numerous awards in the film industry. In 2012, he shifted almost entirely to contemporary sculpture, focusing specifically on hyper-realistic sculptures. His background in special makeup effects informs his artistic practice, lending his work an incredible level of finesse. He strives to create larger-than-life-size figures using materials such as resin and silicone. His work oscillates between an extraordinary sense of intimacy and distance through the strategic appropriation of iconic artists and well-known figures.
