« Faire de l'art, c'est surprendre quelqu'un d'autre. »

Hajime Sorayama surprend par son style à la fois érotique et futuriste. L'artiste japonais conçoit des illustrations sensuelles peintes à la main grâce à un mélange d'acrylique et d'aérographe. À défaut de les sculpter dans le marbre, Sorayama dessine les femmes en acier inoxydable avec un réalisme incroyable.

La marque californienne Stüssy, surprise et séduite par ce talent unique, a choisi l'artiste de 67 ans pour une collaboration exclusive. La collection Stüssy x Sorayama est maintenant disponible en magasin.

"Doing art is surprising someone else"

Hajime Sorayama surprises with a style both erotic and futuristic. The Japanese artist creates hand-painted sensuous illustrations through a mix of acrylic and airbrush. Instead of sculpting them in marble, Sorayama draws women in stainless steel with incredible realism.

The California brand Stüssy, surprised and seduced by this unique talent, chose the 67-year-old artist for an exclusive collaboration. The Stüssy x Sorayama collection is now available in store.

(NSFW) Hajime Sorayama (1947-) graduated from Chubi Central Art School in Tokyo in 1969 and first spent some time working with an advertising company. Since 1972 when he became freelance, he has been a legendary artist armed with astounding realistic metallicity techniques. His works of female images, robots and eroticism are well known both inside and outside of Japan. This reputation was initially established in 1978 with the work series entitled "Sexy Robot", which shocked people throughout the world for his artful depictions of sensual metallic qualities and reflected light. In 1999, he won both the Good Design Grand Prize from the Ministry of Trade and Industry, and the Media Arts Festival Grand Prize from the Agency from Cultural Affairs for his work with Sony on the concept design for their entertainment robot, AIBO. In 2001, Sorayama received another prize for this invention from the Asahi newspaper. In this same year the 1st generation AIBO was added to the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institute and the Museum of Modern Art. As if that weren't enough, the internationally famous rock band Aerosmith collaborated with Sorayama on the artwork for the cover of their 2001 album, Just Push Play. He also collaborated with Hollywood movies such as "Brain Dead" (1992), "Timecop" (1994) and "Space Trucker" (1995). His recent exhibition includes: AISHONANZUKA, Hong Kong (2013), Gering and Lopez Gallery, NY (2012), NANZUKA UNDERGROUND, Tokyo (2010), and Bape Gallery, Tokyo (2002).
