ART: Kaz Oshiro



Typically I'm not a huge fan of sculpture, and I don't know if I would actually qualify myself as a huge fan of Kaz Oshiro's work, but it is damn entertaining. The piece above (Small Fridge #5) was being shown at Steven Wolf Fine Arts in SF a little bit ago (the show closed on March 25) and it was just a fantastic representation of a college dorm room fridge; complete with coke stains and surface scratches. The mindblowing thing is that it's sculpted out of canvas and wood and paint and assorted other materials. I couldn't find a picture of the back side of the piece, but it's cool to see the hollow shell. There's another piece which is an old Fender amp, and it is awesome as well. Just thought you might be interested....
