Yoshihiko Satoh is a Japanese artist who plays with size and functionality of daily objects. He was born in Ibaraki in 1968 and graduated in M.F.A at Tokyo National University of Fine Art & Music. He has exposed in Japan in important art galleries and has participated in other exhibitions like BERLIN-TOKYO Group Exhibition I or Japan Korea 2004 Contemporary Art Exhibition. Lately, he has appeared on several music websites for 2 guitar-related creations, Present Arms (2002) and Glory Arms – Lake Placid Blue (2003).
The Present Arms creation is a 12–necked stratocaster-like guitar connected to a Fender amp (we have a photo of a person “trying to play the guitar”). This creation won the Grandprix at the 2002 Kirin Art Award.
The Glory Arms – Lake Placid Blue creation is also a 12–necked stratocaster-like guitar connected to a Fender amp, but this time the guitar is shaped like a star or a clock (it looks like the necks are the hours of a clock).
Both creations are very interesting, I don’t know what Rick Nielsen or Steve Vai would think of those creations. Here you can take a look at more Yoshihiko Satoh creations.
