Yuichi Yokoyama - Neutral

Yuichi Yokoyama is known for his radical manga style. Neutre brings together for the first time a substantial body of his drawings, colored and black-and-white collages, and two previously unpublished manga. This book offers an extensive view of the fascinating world that this Japanese artist has been building for over twenty years. Working with an approach of absolute detachment and superficiality—one senses the influence of Pop Art, Minimalism, and the Ukiyo-e tradition of Japanese prints—Yuichi Yokoyama’s work presents a gallery of portraits featuring mysterious figures (half-robots, half-fashion astronauts) and vibrant masks, depicting colorful and interspersed geometric shapes: landscapes of shimmering light architecture, colorful paper inlaid with light. Vibrant and striking, Neutre presents images that remain neutral to the viewer—vivid, free, and dynamic.
