VIOLENT BEAUTY

Daisuke Ichiba

Published by Timeless Ed. - 2015 - France
30 x 40 cm - 52 pages in colours - Soft cover

Printed on Rives Tradition fine art paper.

Oversized artbook from Daisuke Ichiba - the Violent Bijin painter - including for the 1st time full colours artworks.

Daisuke Ichiba’s images are violent and beautiful. 

Daisuke paintings describe a delicate world haunted by Japanese phantasms and grotesqueries of moral contradictions; a world where youth and sex mingle with corruption and death. The rooms into which the viewer peeks are forbidden, as if a sliding door has been drawn back on a scene reenacted from a gothic past. This first North American exhibit will feature recent paintings and photography, as well as a selection of screenprinted books from his collection.
