TARO HANABUSA MEETS CONTEMPORARY CLUSTER

On the 6th of October Contemporary Cluster presents ‘Fangophilia’, a project by the artist Taro Hanabusa. Drawing inspiration from his initial career in the dental science field, T. Hanabusa creates unique and customized pieces made mostly from silver and precious stones which serve as jewelry under the notion of body modification and the principal of jewelry as a second skin material. Focused on the beauty of the human body and natural curves, Hanabusa’s jewelries are more than mere accessories. They are unique art pieces which fall into each customer’s character and personal taste. With Japanese origins and a large client list - from Rihanna, Jaden Smith, Lady Gaga to Marilyn Manson, Kat Von D and K-Pop idols like G-Dragon of Big Bang - Mr. Hanabusa travels the world sharing his talent and creations. Simple yet concise designs like silver molded face masks, finger and extraordinary ear pieces, elaborate grillz and several others will be hosted in the exhibition available to the Roman audience as well as making customized orders. Contemporary Cluster offers an unprecedented dialogue between the original creations of Taro Hanabusa and the works exhibited in the gallery, with the aim of showing a further expressive possibility on the theme of mutation.
