Osamu Mori (b. 1938, Aichi Prefecture) held his debut solo exhibition Can’t help falling in love in 2010 at Yamamoto Gendai, marking the beginning of a distinctive sculptural practice that blends pop iconography with monumental form. The following year, he gained further recognition through his participation in the Yokohama Triennale OUR MAGIC HOUR: How Much of the World Can We Know?. After a decade-long interval, he returned in 2020 with Ba de ya at PARCEL, Tokyo, where he unveiled a towering four-meter sculpture of Elvis Presley. This marked a renewed commitment to scale and popular imagery that continued into his solo presentation at Frieze Seoul’s Asia Focus section in 2022, also organized by PARCEL. In 2023, Mori was featured in the NGV Triennial at the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia, and in 2024 he held a solo exhibition at the Rokuzan Art Museum, located in the hometown of modern sculptor Rokuzan Ogiwara. In 2026, he is scheduled to hold his first solo exhibition in three years at PARCEL, where he will exhibit colossal sculptures composed primarily of timber over 100 years old.
