Yuki Matsueda – BOOM (Gold Edition)
In this bold and high-impact Gold Edition of BOOM, Japanese conceptual sculptor Yuki Matsueda continues his exploration of symbols breaking free from confinement. The explosive graphic—modeled in the style of vintage comic book art—features a central red burst surrounded by kinetic rays, halftone dots, and motion lines. What makes it iconic is the three-dimensional “BOOM” typography, which literally bursts out from the image, pushing the surface of the frame outward as though caught in the act of detonating.
The background in this edition features a rich metallic gold overlay, intensifying the piece’s visual drama and elevating it to a collector-tier centrepiece.
Conceptual Commentary:
-
Disruption of flatness: Matsueda transforms a 2D graphic into a dynamic sculptural event, capturing the essence of motion, force, and escape.
-
Comic art elevated: By physically extruding the word BOOM, the work blurs boundaries between fine art, pop culture, and industrial design.
-
Controlled chaos: The piece appears violent and animated, yet is encased in a rigid, perfectly measured frame—reflecting Matsueda’s central tension between order and rebellion.
