I’m needing an art fix, since I can’t make it to Design Festa. Until I can, I’ll have to keep exploring Azito, an online gallery of contemporary Japanese art, dedicated to making it approachable and accessible, if not necessarily at Etsy prices. (via)
“The artists represented by Azito are highly acclaimed in Japan for their sophisticated artwork. Azito is also pleased to introduce a selection of extremely promising emerging and young artists.” (via)
These incredible silkscreens are by Japanese artists Keiichi Tanaami and Soji Yamakawa, just two of the artists they are showcasing at Azito. (via)
And I love the creepiness factor of the work by Tetsuya Tamanoi–horror films and candy! (Read here to find out what I’m talking about.)
I am equally drawn to the black and white pieces by Etsuko Fukaya.
The collection keeps growing, and with an easy to navigate English website, I expect they will find a U.S. following soon.
