ARTISTS
Makoto Egashira
Born in Mie Prefecture in 1986, Makoto Egashira’s work employs the flower print blankets that become popular in postwar Japan, creating large-scale sculptures and installations that utilize the exhibition space. He received the special prize at the 18th Taro Okamoto Contemporary Art Award for his artwork Jinguuji miyagata yatsumunezukuri, a funeral car made with Styrofoam and wrapped in blankets. Egashira also received the grand prix at SICF17 for the installation Ohanabatake, which transformed his booth at the fair into a Western-style toilet made with his trademark blankets.
