MR. | Hikari—Morgenrot 光-晨曦

2021

A monumental sculptural work by the street art luminary MR., *Hikari—Morgenrot 光-晨曦* merges Eastern and Western references through its title, invoking the Japanese and German words for the luminous glow of dawn. Constructed from iron and fiber-reinforced plastic and finished with layers of urethane and acrylic paint, the piece showcases MR.'s signature anime-inflected aesthetic rendered in three-dimensional form. The work's carefully engineered plywood and MDF base grounds its vivid, graphic presence, bridging the artist's roots in flat illustration with the commanding physicality of large-scale sculpture.
