Enlightenment and Hiro Sugiyama Release ELM15 Book, Chronicling 15 Years of Extraordinary Art
エンライトメントの杉山ヒロが創立 15周年を祝いに厳選した40作を集めた作品集ELM15をリリース
We know that Takuya Kimura of SMAP is a superstar, but who knew that just one portrait drawn of him by Hiro Sugiyama would spark an illustrious career of one of the most respected artists in Japan today?
私達はSMAPの木村拓哉がスーパースターであること を知っているけれど、
This may be late news to some, but I was happily surprised with a copy of this book in the mail. Sugiyama is the founder and leader of art unit Enlightenment which celebrated 15 years since its inception this year. The group was a mainstay on the cool club and music scene as THE best VJs in Japan during the noughts, experimenting with new digital graphic techniques and even inventing some along the way (when Enlightenment was in charge of visuals, I often found myself more entranced by the graphics than the DJ). One of those techniques was called TRACE and Sugiyama has used it to become a well-known portrait artist, like a Warholian digital maestro. Those include Thom Yorke of Radiohead and former Prime Minister Hatayama’s wife Miyuki (the one who said she was from outer space).
とても遅れた情報かもしれませんが、いよいよミーシャの手に本をいれることができた。杉山さま、ありがとう!杉山は今年で創立から15年を迎える、E
To commemorate the anniversary, a book called ELM15 has been published, featuring 40 hand-selected works from about 1,400. My favorite pieces are the ones in which fine art has been fused with pop-culture. These seem to speak more than the digital graphic design pieces which were painstakingly made when Enlightenment was founded, but can be churned out with just an iPhone app today. The series of women wearing ethnic armor in a digital oil-painting style are also really great.
Quite a number of noted artists are “graduates” of Enlightenment, including Akiyoshi Mishima now with fashion brand FUGAHUM and Tomoyuki Yonezu. Here’s to 15 more years.
