Shigeki Hayashi “1/2(half)OO”

“1/2(half)OO” is a half-size work from Shigeki Hayashi’s OO series. This piece was made in 2013 in a collector’s chosen color following an order placed at Art Fair Tokyo.

About the Work

This work is a half-size piece based on Hayashi’s OO series, first presented in 2011. Rather than simply scaling the original down, the balance was adjusted specifically for this size. The work incorporates refinements that resolved technical challenges found in the larger version. Its coloring was produced through an order system, allowing variations according to each collector’s preference. The edition was planned for up to 40 pieces, but orders are currently suspended because each work requires considerable time to produce.
