"Armed with colorful balloons and plenty of air, Masayoshi Matsumoto twists and
ties a playfully quirky menagerie of inflatable creatures. A chemical engineer
by day, the artist spends his off hours stretching the malleable material into
a sticky-fingered tree frog or plump squirrel, elevating the creations
typically associated with children’s birthday parties or carnivals into
elaborate sculptural works.
Matsumoto is loyal to the bendable material and forgoes paints, glues, and
other fasteners, and many of the animals accentuate the shape of the balloons
themselves: deflated tips resemble claws and puffed oblongs hang like shaggy
fur or splay upward like a rooster’s crest."
