Pioneer, Yutokutaishi Akiyama of the avant-garde art, popular figure comic artist, Kotobuki Shiriagari

In 1975, the Tokyo governor’s race run in 79 is known widely, and “codevelop をはじめ, a performance on the pretence of a pop incident particularly, as for Yutokutaishi Akiyama (1935 …), a campaign poster is stored up Dali” after the 1960s by the art museums as a work of the whole country. On the other hand, I produced a sculpture with the tin plate which modelled a baron and a Buddhist image continuously. In late years I announce the publication of the essay, the new work of the tin plate sculpture and continue carrying out an excellent activity.

Kotobuki Shiriagari (1958 …) is in charge of package design, advertisement after Tama University of Arts graduation in a major beer maker and achieves a debut as a comic artist in “spring that is an electric guitar” in 1985. In late years I open width of the creation in an essay, a picture, many aspects including the art while I attract attention as a new type of gag comic artist whom I worked as mainly on a parody, and I am absurd, and the works which I pictured the end-like world in continue carrying out an activity in sequence original as announcement, a comic artist after independence in 1994.

The collaboration that was over both the genre and the generation causes a miracle! ?

Display space constructed by the collaboration of both “is Noah’s ark of the tin plate” and, in addition to it, puts old and new works together and shows a possible requiem and form of the relief in these two people. I know it, and in plural “loose … しょん” including the new work with the tsunami by the East Japan great earthquake disaster as a motif and Akiyama display art object 》 others of the 《 meditation that did a hexagon temple washed away by a tsunami in a motif, the loss and a tin plate sculpture concerning the prayer. It is an expression of the manners that I can take as an artist for the difficult situation that this country after the earthquake disaster faces, and it may be said that it is form of the relief that both writers who came with humor and a parody facing society picture.
