Art project featuring new silkscreen works by Heikichi Harada
Harada Heikichi works as a calligraphy designer and editorial artist.
Starting with the album jackets and tour visuals for YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra), he has accomplished numerous legendary works in a wide range of media, including books, record jackets, magazines, and comics.
The original and intricate typeface planning and design, which pursues detail from composition to color design, never ceases to fascinate those who see it.
This time, Heikichi Harada has produced his first silkscreen work, a reconstructed homage to the cover visuals of the magazine "HEAVEN" (1980), which are fervently supported by fans among his past designs, and the magazine "Quarterly D'Avlexy "WX-raY" Inaugural Preparation Issue" (1979).
All works are numbered and autographed, and are sold in limited quantities. Unlike offset printing, silkscreen printing allows for colorful and delicate expression. The world of Harada Heikichi is expressed in a unique and overwhelming presence through the use of ink with a unique thickness and layered structure.
