Yusuke Hanai "Untitled 1"
The works of Yusuke Hanai are created in a unique style that fuses Japanese aesthetics with American retro illustrations. His art is like a cynical yet humorous story.
This work is filled with the playfulness of Mr. Hanai, who took 16 small woodcut prints depicting daily scenes of ordinary people, framed them individually, and laid them out to create one three-dimensional work. Each of the 16 small woodcut prints is full of the warmth unique to woodcut prints that make use of the grain of woodblocks and the texture of Japanese paper.
*This product will be sold only in the final form, which is a combination of 16 works.
