Tomokazu Matsuyama ‘Dancer’, 2021 In conjunction with The Armory Show’s renowned public art program, Armory Off-Site, Kavi Gupta is proud to debut Tomokazu Matsuyama’s ambitious public sculpture Dancer, premiering during the fair in Manhattan’s iconic Flatiron Plaza. The sculpture's sinuous, mirrored-steel limbs undulate in joyous abandonment while reflecting a glittering jungle of whirling colors and forms. The sculpture by long-time New York-based artist Tomokazu Matsuyama (“Matsu” to friends) freezes an enraptured figure in a moment of radical freedom familiar to anyone who has ever cut loose and boogied, sambaed, waltzed, tangoed, Geta'd, rhumbaed, fancy-danced, kwassa kwassa'd or hustled. Matsu’s artworks express the “global us,” a multitudinous reality reflective of today's nomadic diaspora. He hopes we will all recognize ourselves in his uncanny visual language, if not from our memories then from our aspirations or dreams. 'Dancer' is on display outside the Flatiron Building in New York, NY as part of The Armory Show. This incredible artwork was delivered by UAP’s Shanghai workshop using mirror-polished stainless steel. The realisation of 'Dancer' was funded by Art Makers and created in collaboration with Matsuyama and Kavi Gupta. @tomokazumatsuyama @kavigupta_ @thearmoryshow @uapcompany #dancer #tomokazumatsuyama #kavigupta #uap #uapcompany #urbanartprojects #madebyuap #incrediblethings #publicart #thearmoryshow #flatironbuilding - Photo courtesy of the artist, Kavi Gupta, D'Angelo Lovell Williams
