<いのまたももこ>　｢カヤネズミとお花」　h22.5×12.0cm 石塑粘土、樹脂粘土、布、アクリルガッシュ　2025年
私は鉄板やステンレス、パイプやエルボなど工業用資材で作品を造っています。町工場に似たアトリエに鉄床やハンマー、電動工具や溶接機器が密集し、鉄屑の山の間隙にロボット様の作品？が乱立しています。足元に転がる鉄のキレ端、撥ねもの部品、バネ断片、ネジの切れたステンレスボルト。それが私の作品の源泉。

Born in Niigata, Japan in 1951. Received his MFA in Sculpture from Tama Art University in 1976. His first solo exhibition was held at Hitsuji Garo in 1978, followed by numerous shows in Niigata, Tokyo, and beyond.
Hoshino’s sculptures are made from industrial materials such as steel, stainless steel, pipes, and bolts. His studio resembles a small factory, filled with tools, welding equipment, and piles of scrap metal. From this discarded material, he constructs robot-like forms using broken springs, cut steel, and twisted components.
His works embody shapes that fall outside conventional function—illogical, fragmented, and strange. Through these forms, he explores the unexpected beauty that emerges when industrial order collapses into chaos, suggesting a dialogue between utility and imagination.
