Kohei Nawa, an art sculptor who is native in Osaka, Japan. As a sculptor, Kohei Nawa is concerned with forms and surfaces and how they interact to become objects. His sculptures often exploit the tactile nature of surfaces, as in his ‘Pixcell’ series (2002–), in which he covers the surfaces of objects with glass beads of various sizes. Nawa’s skin of glass beads magnifies the object in some areas and distorts it in others, shifting our perception and questioning how we encounter things in our daily environment.
