It’s one thing to conform to boring, one-dimensional street signs, but one gets a whole different feeling when obeying the incredible 3D art sings by Japanese artist Yuki Matsueda. These artworks are definitely attractive and easy to pay attention to. The series is fun, creative and unique—the pieces certainly break the mold.
 

Matsueda’s work consists of signs, ordinary elements and abstract images trying to escape the plastic frame they’re put into. The artist creates a 3D piece by giving the impression that the subject of the image has come to life and is trying to escape its constraints. My favorite has to be the exit man trying to actually exit—it’s extremely ironic and eye-catching.
 

Yuki Matsueda is a young artist whose intentions were to express through art the need to break with everyday rules and boundaries.
 

Matsueda completed his PHD in crafts at Tokyo University of the Arts and has since been active as a 3D artist. Although Matsueda’s parents run a printing company in Japan, his interest has been in printing equipment and 3-dimensional solids rather than 2-dimensional prints. Nevertheless, his childhood memories

and aesthetic senses still retain a natural affinity for his parents’ printed products. Matsueda’s recent work express motifs from 2-dimensional planes that protrude and encompass 3-dimensional spaces. The author seeks to overcome the limitations of the printing industry and its products — planar objects.

“The subject is literally trying to get out of the picture! How awesome are these 3D artworks by Japanese artist Yuki Matsueda. The desire to escape from the constraints, the standard of the ordinary is what has animated Matsueda for this series of works in 3D. I would love to get my hands on couple of these!”

 

“While most designers are busying adding more and more elements into their artworks, Japan-based Yuki Matsueda has, however, managed to let some elements escape from his art pieces. The result seems quite amazing… A vivid 3D image is successfully created and all the elements are believed to be more shocking than those stay still on paper.”

 

One of the themes of the Matsueda work is to shape an “impossible moment.” To illustrate this theme, his works consist of

3-dimensional solids born from motifs protruding from 2-dimensional planes.
