Real beauty is not all things luxury and money, frankly speaking, it is much more simple and ordinary. This beauty has no bounds and limits and it can be formed literally from everything. For example, Yuken Teruya sees pure art and creativeness in usual and even sometimes boring every day objects. I guess one should be a real genies to find beauty in completely ordinary things like a toilet paper roll.
All Yuken’s things are incredible, he manages to manipulate with simple objects and he shows life, culture and even feelings through them. Almost all his masterpieces are made without additions. I mean he takes a toilet paper roll and cuts a tree out of it … no paint, no other paper … nothing …
The artist himself was born in Japan in 1973 and he received his MFA from the school of Visual Arts, New York in 2001.
