Neutre

Yuichi Yokoyama is primarily known for his radical manga. Neutre brings together, for the first time, a large selection of his paintings and color and black & white collages, along with two previously unpublished comics. This book offers an expansive view of the fascinating world the Japanese artist has been crafting for over twenty years. Embracinga resolutely distant and surface-level approach-where one might detect influences from Pop Art, Minimal Art, and the ukiyo-e tradition of Japanese printmaking-Yokoyama presents a gallery of portraits featuring enigmatic figures (half- robots, half-fashion astronauts) and vividly colored masks, interspersed with geometric landscapes: shimmering construction sites, expanses of water depicted through intricate inlaid compositions of colored paper. Dynamic and striking, Neutre presents images that remain neutral toward their viewers-vivid, liberated, and electric.
