Keisei Kobayashi Exhibition

Oto Gallery

This event has ended.

Kobayashi's woodblock prints are created by engraving a tree slab.
Originally, this technique was invented in late 18th century England, and is currently considered as a unique process that creates a "handmade universe" and "handmade jewels".
Typically, the woodblock prints are in black and white, but Kobayashi rejects the stereotype and presents works with an intricate assortment of colors. His prints are saturated with organic creatures that parasite on concrete high-rises located out in space.
