Graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker and painter.
One of Japan’s most well-known artists, who began working with painting in 1966. In parallel, Yokoo’s early screenprints combined photographs with the influence of traditional Japanese ukiyo-e(woodblock prints) and pop art’s flat colours and overtly sexual content. [...].His work became influenced by mysticism following his trip to India in the 1970s, resulting in posters with eclectic imagery sharing the aesthetics of the underground psychedelic magazines of the time.*
