Art

Kyoto-based graffiti artist NAZE never ceases to have a sense of wonder about the world around him. He often creates works on abandoned objects, or slips his own posters subversively among the layers of postings on walls of advertisements. Characterised by drawings of monstrous creatures and objects, pictographs that looks like arcane curses, and deformed and colourfully toxic portraits, his work even includes canes and weapons made of rubbish like soda cans and discarded bamboo. This catalogue for a solo exhibition of NAZE at Tokyo’s FOIL Gallery covers primarily new works in a range of media, from paintings and drawings to objects and installations.
