André Komatsu

His work often features a concrete or brick wall which symbolizes society's stagnation and the roadblocks that continue to affect social imbalances and injustice. One of Komatsu's most popular displays is called 'Febre De Ouro' which is a series of fenced rooms made with galvanized steel. The fenced rooms continue to get smaller and smaller as you walk through them, and they continue on until you can't fit. The installation is disturbing and gives the feeling of suffocation or claustrophobia, even though the viewer can see through the outside of the fence. Komatsu is part of the 'Invisible Movement' and focuses on how people deal with established powers and space in urban areas. He work shows how we have territorial limits in the world.
