West City – Okuda San Miguel – Public Art
Spanning 150,000 square meters, Grand Emporium is a “light luxury” destination featuring eight themed spaces and two themed blocks, including gardens, waterscapes, a skatepark, and an interactive light space. At its heart is a sunken entertainment plaza, home to a striking artwork by renowned artist Okuda San Miguel.
Focusing on the concept of “protection,” the artwork features a large animal (rabbit or cat) supporting smaller beings, symbolising harmony between humans, animals, and nature. It conveys a message of mutual care, love, and respect for the natural world as a path to spiritual growth.
Okuda San Miguel
Okuda’s distinctive style of geometric harmonies emboldened with intense colours can make his artworks feel like they’re from a parallel universe.
In his work, rainbow geometric architectures blend with organic shapes, bodies without identity, headless animals and symbols that encourage reflection in artistic pieces that could be categorised as Pop Surrealism with a clear essence of street forms. His works often raise questions about existentialism, the universe, the infinite, the meaning of life, and the contradictions of society’s false freedom, showing a conflict between modernity and our roots; ultimately, between man and the same.
