Yûichi Yokoyama is primarily known for his radical manga. Neutre brings together, for the first time, a large selection of his paintings and color and black & white collages, along with two previously unpublished comics. This book offers an expansive view of the fascinating world the Japanese artist has been crafting for over twenty years. Embracing a resolutely distant and surface-level approach - where one might detect influences from Pop Art, Minimal Art, and the ukiyo-e tradition of Japanese printmaking - Yokoyama presents a gallery of portraits featuring enigmatic figures (half- robots, half-fashion astronauts) and vividly colored masks, interspersed with geometric landscapes: shimmering construction sites, expanses of water depicted through intricate inlaid compositions of colored paper. Dynamic and striking, Neutre presents images that remain neutral toward their viewers—vivid, liberated, and electric.
