Into the Dark Forest: A Masterful Blend of Art and Collectibility

In art collectibles, few pieces balance artistic mastery and collector appeal as effectively as “Into the Dark Forest” by Masato Ohata (大畠 雅人), in collaboration with Manas S+U+M. Unveiled in 2021 and now hitting the shelves, this piece is more than just a collectible; it’s a testament to Ohata’s sculpting prowess.

Masato Ohata, a Japanese artist renowned for his intricate and lifelike sculptures, has once again outdone himself. His collaboration with Manas S+U+M, a team known for transforming art into tangible treasures, has resulted in two stunning editions of “Into the Dark Forest.” Whether you choose the serene white or the deep blue, each of the 150 hand-painted resin pieces is a sight to behold.

But the creativity doesn’t stop there. There’s also a kit version for those who love a personal touch. Crafted from ivory and transparent resin, these kits come in two sizes, offering a more hands-on experience for collectors and hobbyists alike. And here’s the cool part: the lamp in the sculpture lights up, and you can swap out the lotus for a flame, giving it a dynamic and customizable aspect.

“Into the Dark Forest” isn’t just a piece of art; it’s a conversation starter, a centerpiece, and a collector’s dream. It’s available now, and trust me, it’s worth checking out.
