Bunny by Aki Kuroda Sculpture plastic material grey / H 60 cm

The Bunny project is part of the SLIDE Art project, where the union between art and design reaches its peak in terms of creativity and research. The Bunny sculpture was designed by renowned contemporary Japanese artist Aki Kuroda and co-produced by Yoyo Maeght and Slide, Italy's leading rotomoulding company. First produced in limited edition, this work of art made of rotomoulded polyethylene is a design object accessible to the general public. Its release coincides with the advent of the Year of the Rabbit in Chinese astrology. Weatherproof, Bunny brings good humour indoors and out. Under its joyful, quirky aspect hide several layers of memories. Bunny refers as much to the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland as to mythology or, of course, to our memories, sometimes mocking, of the garden gnomes of our childhood. Kuroda remembers his walk with Joan Miró in the Labyrinth of the Maeght Foundation and the large Lunar Bird in marble by Miró, with its sensual curves and imposing size. Bunny is part of this filiation, the same artistic force and same humour. Bunny's form oscillates between childish innocence and powerful artistic questioning. Bunny reminds us of childhood, of the innocence of each of us that we all seek to cultivate.
