Product Overview
Published in conjunction with an eponymous solo exhibition of modern Japanese artist Yamaguchi Akira, this catalogue reproduces numerous artworks done in the painting style for which he is best known. His fusion of contemporary oil painting techniques with Yamato-e, a traditional Japanese composition style, leads to sometimes surreal scenes that transcend time and place, wherein a blend of fantasy and reality, tradition and modernity, coexist. Also included are many installation views in which the artist himself moves around the exhibition space following a specific route, which in fact dictates the layout of the book. With essays by Hashimoto Mari and Asai Toshihiro.
