Kenji Yanobe: Nightmare Robots Of The Future
Writing by Conner Flynn on Thursday, 6 of March , 2008 at 1:01 am
Kenji Yanobe’s work is well known in Japan for it’s dark nightmarish look at the future. He has quite a few man-machine contraptions. The fire breathing Giant Torayan really breathes fire and was created as a kid’s toy. The Radiation Suit Atom & Radiation Suit Uran certainly doesn’t give one a particularly great outlook on the future. The Mini Tanking Machine for children, like much of his work, does far more then hint at a dangerous and scary future, it puts it directly in your face.
This is the dark side of sci-fi art for sure, in a strange merging of man and robot and fear. Yanobe’s work will be on display at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art until April 16th if you’re lucky enough to be in the area.
