Artists

Katsumi Asaba

Along with forging a new era in the advertising and design world since the 1970s, Katsumi Asaba has displayed multiple talents while studying the Tompa characters preserved in the recesses of China, which he has refined into a unique typographical style.
This exhibition surveys Asaba's expressive world using seven catch phrases: art direction, calligraphy, table tennis, global exploration of remote regions, dressing in female attire, lecture tours, and performance -- extraordinarily passionate examples of his many-sided activities. The exhibition features seven new works that the artist is currently working on in preparation for the new year, as well as a -- the only one in the world -- volume crammed with diary entries, sketches, and photographs that throws light on his daily life and creative processes.
