Bamboo Insect Sculptures Brought to Life by Noriyuki Saitoh
Noriyuki Saitoh stays true to his Japanese culture when he crafts byzantine depictions of various insect species using bamboo.
His sculptures are so realistic that it will definitely creep you out; but once you get past the fear of these creatures, you will notice all the vivid details etched on them. Saitoh’s material of choice is perfect as the baboo’s wide range of color and texture adds on to the profound visual effect for each of the insect he wishes to portray. He puts a lot of thought and planning before actually creating a single piece; instead of mixing and matching the different tones randomly, the artist pairs down each bug to its essential forms that give the impression of life.
However, Saitoh warns on his website that he does not stick with the scientific dimensions for each of these bamboo sculptures but rather relies on his power of observation and his imaginative, artistic mind.
