That's what happens when 10 Japanese artists from various backgrounds get together and form a graphic collective bent on exploring the possibilities of visual arts for expressing fantasy in life...
If you like what you see, check out their website (do you like that music? I found it a bit annoying, but easily clicked off) or their blog.
N.B. You can enlarge the pictures twice by clicking on them, the details are worth it!
Glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteThese were fun. The first one is my favorite. And the layered Grace Kelly looks like layered wood.
Glad to be back and as ever lovely to see you here!
ReplyDeleteHa, the first one? Is it your favorite out of empathy? Do you feel you have a head full of books, hmm? ; j
Yeah, it does look like layered wood.
There's a part of me that goes gleeful with the idea of the presence being composed of the absence that is outline by the alternating layers of something that is without... I dig how you can interpret that one in intrinsically different ways.
Sometimes, I know that artists think "Hey it would look cool if I did this." And then leave all the imagination and interpretation to the viewers. I suspect this might be such a case.
WOW! That last one is just stunning! There's something so peaceful about that chaos. Dontcha think?
ReplyDeleteI think it's the weightless grace of the lines in that picture that convey that feeling. : j
ReplyDeleteThe first photo makes me think I should do something more creative with my books than just having piles on my shelves and night table. Although they would be harder to lend if I needed to pull one from the middle. It would be like the game Jenga.
ReplyDeleteOoh Jenga! I love jenga... Recently, I was in a Starbucks for the first time (I don't drink coffee so there hadn't been a reason for me to go in there before then). We were with a couple of friends playing jenga and from a nearby table two young Japanese women looked on with much interest and groaned in sympathy when somebody knocked the tower down. So we invited them over and they played a round. It was one of those rare meetings of strangers. : j
ReplyDeleteAs for organizing books... Shrug.
I suppose you could sculpt your interior with them... I'd rather have my books organized to be as practical as possible. : j
