Kenji Nishimura "I Want to Design."
Closes in 4 days
At Thorn Tree Gallery
Media: Graphics, Other, Art Talk
This exhibition showcases "Typeface" and "Book" by young 31 year-old designer Kenji Nishimura. Fonts such as "Rag", "Fallen Hair" and "Penis" were inspired by encounters from daily life. "Book" features new book designs from the "Boku Shobo" series for such classics as Osamu Dazai's "Ningen Shikkaku" and Ryunosuke Akutagawa's "Kappa". In addition, an editor will be invited to participate in a talk event on the weekend. Taken as a whole, this exhibition will delve deeply into what is required of a designer, and what one needs to link the products in this exhibition with one's work.
