SOFB GIRL (KIIROI JACKET 2020) is based on a life-size wooden sculpture I created during my artist residency in London between 2019 and 2020. The original sculpture was 3D scanned and transformed into this soft vinyl figure.
The original wooden sculpture was carved from 21 laminated timber blocks, using only hand tools—a saw, chisels, planes, and knives—without any power tools.
That one-of-a-kind wooden sculpture was then 3D scanned and transformed into a palm-sized, mass-produced sculpture. With 12 points of articulation, it can be freely posed and enjoyed as a playable sculpture.
The paintwork faithfully recreates the colors of the original wooden sculpture.
Hope you enjoy it. 🙌

Artist statement
ブレイクダンスの「動き」を具象の木彫にすることから始まった私の表現は、常に「彫刻的思考」をベースに、ドローイング、キャンバス、写真、映像へと領域を広げてきました。
今回の個展「TWO SPACES」は、蔵前の隙間 と東日暮里のSculpture Center Tokyoの2箇所で同時開催します。この2つの空間が連動し、ここでしか成立しない新しい写真作品を発表します。これまで取り組んできた、2枚のキャンバスを同時に描く「量の移動」シリーズ。その対比として生まれたアイディアです。
この写真作品を軸に、平面や立体作品もあわせて展示します。
とても実験的な試みなので、どうなるか自分でも分かりませんが、ぜひ2つのギャラリーを実際に行き来し、自身の量の移動をしながら、2つの空間を体感してみてください。
小畑 多丘
My expression began with translating the “movement” of breakdancing into figurative wood sculpture, and has always been rooted in “sculptural thinking” — expanding from there into drawing, canvas, photography, and video.
This solo exhibition 「TWO SPACES」 is held simultaneously across two venues: Sukima in Kuramae and Sculpture Center Tokyo in Higashi-Nippori. These two spaces work in tandem to present new photographic works that could only exist here. It is an idea born as a counterpoint to my ongoing “Transfer of Volume” series — paintings made across two canvases at the same time.
Alongside these photographs, flat and sculptural works will also be on view.
It is a very experimental endeavor, and honestly I’m not sure myself how it will turn out — but please, actually travel between the two galleries, make your own transfer of volume, and experience the two spaces for yourself.

小畑多丘は、B-BOYとしての身体感覚を基点に、ブレイクダンス・カルチャーと現代美術の融合を多角的に試みるアーティストです。
彫刻的思考に基づき多様なメディアを横断するその実践は、動きと静止の間にある身体の瞬間を物質化し、重力やリズムといった不可視のエネルギーを幾何学的かつ有機的な造形へと変換します。
隙間と の2会場で同時開催される本展は、小畑の「量の移動」シリーズの拡張として位置づけられます。2枚のキャンバスの間を踊るように行き来し、一方から他方へ質量を移送する、一つの身体行為からネガとポジの対を生み出すこの手法は、運動の軌跡だけでなく、身体の存在と欠落を浮き彫りにします。
また、本展では一連の作品を通じ、両会場が持つ固有の構造的ディテールを際立たせます。隙間ではガラス窓を物理的なキャンバスへと変容させ、初公開となる未完成の彫刻へのまなざしを展示。本展のために撮り下ろされた写真シリーズが2つのスペースを断片的に捉え、会場間に物理的な共鳴をもたらします。
身体を空間へと拡張し、異なる場の境界を横断する小畑多丘の新たな試みを、ぜひ両会場にてご高覧ください。
隙間 presents「TWO SPACES」, a solo exhibition by B-BOY sculptor Taku Obata.
Rooted in the bodily intelligence of B-BOY culture, Obata’s practice seeks a meeting point between breakdance and contemporary art across multiple disciplines. Drawing from “sculptural thinking”, his work materializes the body at the threshold between movement and stillness — translating the invisible energies of gravity and rhythm into forms that are at once geometric and organic.
Presented simultaneously across two venues — 隙間 and Sculpture Center Tokyo — the exhibition extends Obata’s 「Transfer of Volume」 series. In this ongoing body of work, he moves between two canvases as if dancing, shifting mass from one surface to the other. From a single physical act, a negative and a positive emerge: not only a trace of movement, but an articulation of the body’s presence and its absence.
The exhibition also draws attention to the particular structural qualities of each space. At 隙間, the glass windows are transformed into a physical canvas, alongside a glimpse into an unfinished sculpture shown here for the first time. A new series of photographs, made specifically for this exhibition, captures both venues in fragments — creating a physical resonance between the two spaces.
We invite you to experience Taku Obata’s new work across both venues, as the body expands into space and crosses the boundary between two distinct places.

今回も、等身大木彫の3Dスキャンデータを縮小して作った形です。
木彫のオリジナルカラーの前に、
GR8限定カラーのメタリックブラックを発売します💫
前回のSOFB-BOYは、熱や重さで前に倒れてしまうソフビ特有の欠点がありました💨 しかし今回のSOFB-GIRLは、そこを改善し、倒れないようになっています✊
さらに腕の関節も増やしたことで、より面白い動きが可能になりました🌟
2023年から作り始め、何度もサンプルを修正・改善しながら、ここまで3年かかりましたが、前回よりもパワーアップした量産型の“遊べる彫刻”ができました。
砂場で遊んだり、お風呂に入れたり、アニメーションを作ったり……飾るだけではなく、それぞれの遊び方を見つけてもらえたら嬉しいです。
GR8の連続したモニターで見るとより面白いアニメーションを作ったので、ぜひGR8で買い物を楽しんでもらえたらと思います。
よろしくお願いします🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

Taku Obata x COREJEWELS
I carved this wooden sculpture 10 years ago.
It was later 3D-scanned, and this piece was created from that data.
The second image shows the original wooden sculpture.
From the third image onward, you can see the process of making it.
I never imagined that a sculpture I made 10 years ago would take this form.
This form became smaller, turned into metal, set with stones, given a chain—
and now it can be worn and carried on the body.
A sculpture originally made to be placed now hangs from the body.
It’s kind of crazy.
It’s interesting.
It feels very HIP HOP, and I like that.

10年前にこの木彫を作り、3Dスキャンをして、そのデータからこの作品は作られています。
2枚目はオリジナルの木彫作品。
3枚目以降は、その制作過程の記録です。
10年前に作ったこの木彫が、まさかこんな形になるとは思っていませんでした。
この形が、小さくなり、金属になり、石が埋め込まれ、チェーンが付き、首にかけて持ち運べるようになる。
置くことを前提に作ってきた彫刻が、身体にぶら下がる。
なんかすごいし、面白い🔥
めちゃHIP HOPで良い🔥

カネさんとの2人展も残り2日です🙏
最終日は4/25(土)🔥
ぜひお越しください。
本展「It Takes Two」は好評につき会期延長となり、4月25日(土)まで開催しています。
KYOTOGRAPHIEとあわせて、ぜひお立ち寄りください。
最初の写真は、京都滞在制作1日目に作ったものです。
2日目に展示作品を制作し、3日目からカネさんも加わり、試行錯誤しながら作品が出来上がりました。
カネさんの彫刻は天井からゆらゆらとぶら下がり、ネオンがついています。
私の彫刻は地面に踏ん張り、重力に逆らっています。
最初は私の彫刻にカネさんがネオンをつけて合作にする予定でしたが、光が強く、構造が見えなくなってしまうためやめました。
その結果、カネさんも彫刻を制作し、対照的な2つの彫刻になりました。
京都では、2人で2枚のキャンバスを同時に制作し、
彫刻もそれぞれ1点ずつ制作し、2つの彫刻を展示しています。
「It Takes Two」という題名の通り、
2人で、2枚のキャンバスと2つの彫刻。
彫刻的思考と映像的思考の化学反応が生まれた、とても良い展示になったと思います。
ぜひこの機会にご覧ください。

Our two-person exhibition at in Kyoto with is now in its final two days.
The last day is Saturday, April 25 🔥
Please come by if you haven’t yet.
“It Takes Two” has been extended due to its great reception and will be on view until April 25.
Please stop by together with KYOTOGRAPHIE.
The first photo shows a piece I made on the first day of my residency in Kyoto.
On the second day, I created the exhibition work, and from the third day, Koganezawa joined, and through trial and error, the works took their current form.
Koganezawa’s sculpture hangs from the ceiling, gently swaying with neon.
My sculpture stands firmly on the ground, resisting gravity.
At first, we planned to combine them by adding neon to my sculpture as a collaborative work.
However, the light was too strong and obscured the structure, so we abandoned that idea.
As a result, Koganezawa created his own sculpture, and two contrasting works emerged.
In Kyoto, we created two canvases simultaneously together,
and each of us made one sculpture, resulting in two sculptures on view.
As the title “It Takes Two” suggests,
two people, two canvases, and two sculptures.
The chemical reaction between sculptural thinking and cinematic thinking has resulted in a very strong exhibition.
We hope you can experience it on this occasion.

I’ll be at the gallery on the final day. 👋
This is a sculpture I created during my residency at in Kyoto.
The piece stands entirely through joinery (“hozo”) and its own weight, without any screws, bolts, or adhesives.
In our initial planning, (Kane-san) and I decided to “do something that could only be done here.”
The plan was for me to build a form using the lumber found in the gallery, and for Kane-san to attach neon lights to it.
However, Kane-san could not make it for the first two days (lol), so I started the work alone.
At first, I was overthinking it, telling myself, “Since neon will be attached, I need to make it sturdy.” I spent half a day sketching, but nothing was moving forward.
Eventually I realized, “At this rate, I’ll never finish.”
So I changed my approach and decided to build it intuitively, almost like a drawing, following the vibe of the moment.
With Kane-san not there, I gradually forgot about the neon altogether and became obsessed with creating a sculpture using only the minimum necessary structure.
It all started with a single joint.
Using that as the axis, I abstracted and distilled the pose of a life-sized human body into a minimal form, eventually arriving at this sculpture.
I have always been fascinated by the beauty of the armature used in clay modeling itself, and I have long wanted to make a sculpture that extracts only the structure and movement of the human body.
The conditions of the site—the lumber lying around the gallery and the limitation of using only a saw, chisel, plane, and carving knife—became the perfect environment.
Those restrictions confined me, but at the same time expanded the possibilities of expression.
Without these circumstances, I think this work would have taken much longer to come into existence.
Suddenly, a completely new series was born in Kyoto (lol).
As a contrast to my figurative sculptures, I plan to continue refining and developing this series.
Please come and experience this new series, born in Kyoto.

京都の にて滞在制作した彫刻です。
この作品は、ビスなどで固定せず、「ホゾの構造」と「重さ」だけで自立し、成立しています。
事前の打ち合わせで カネさんと、
「ここでしかできないことをしよう」
という話になり、ギャラリーに転がっていた垂木で自分が形を作り、そこにカネさんがネオンをくっつけていくことになりました。
ところが、最初の2日間カネさんが来ないことになり（笑）、1人で制作をスタート。
最初は、
「ネオンが付くから丈夫に作らなきゃ」
と身構えてスケッチしていたんですが、半日経っても全然進まず……。
「これじゃ終わらない」
と切り替えて、ドローイングのように「ノリ」で、直感的に作ることにしました。
カネさんが居ないことで、いつの間にかネオンを付けることも忘れ、最低限の構造だけで彫刻を作ることに熱中し始めてしまいました。
まずは一つのホゾから。
そこを軸に、等身大の人体のポージングをアブストラクトでミニマルに抽出していき、最終的にこの形に辿り着きました。
もともと塑像を作る時の「芯棒」自体のカッコよさや、人体の動きの構造だけを取り出した彫刻を作りたいと考えていたので、
現場にあった「垂木」という素材と、
「ノコギリ、鑿、鉋、彫刻刀だけ」
という限定された状況が、自分を縛り、逆に表現を膨らませる最高の環境になりました。
この状況がなければ、この作品が生まれるのはもっと先だったと思います。
いきなり、新しいシリーズが京都で誕生してしまいました（笑）
具象彫刻との対比として、これからもブラッシュアップしていこうと思っています。
京都で生まれた新しいシリーズ、ぜひ会場で体感してください。
