Some of you might remember that I reported about an exhibition of Japanese artist Hiroki Tsukuda, last fall. Hiroki Tsukuda is a Tokyo-based artist who creates a range of works, including drawings, paintings and 3D pieces. He is now exhibiting 100 new figure toys for his solo exhibition “4010 NIGHT TIME” at TOKYO CULTUART by BEAMS. Here is an interview with the artist who revealed his new works for 4010 NIGHT TIME.
If you’re looking for something inspirational, you might want to check out the newly released book, GENGA, by Hiraku Suzuki. The book contains exactly 1000 illustrations dedicated to language and the galaxy. Inspired by every aspect in his immediate environment, GENGA is a dictionary-sized microcosm made out of numerous signals that communicate times between present and future.
