YOSHIROTTEN is a graphic artist and art director based in Tokyo. Born in 1983, he works across a wide spectrum of fields, including graphics, moving images, 3D works, installations and music. Besides his career as an artist in his own right, Yoshirotten also serves as an art director and multidisciplinary designer for diverse clients, his works ranging from artwork for both nationally and internationally known musicians, to graphics for fashion brands, advertising visuals and commercial space design.
YOSHIROTTEN has held solo shows in London and Berlin, and in 2018 he mounted a massive exhibition of his works, his largest to date, titled “FUTURE NATURE.” Held at TOLOT/heuristic SHINONOME in Tokyo, the exhibition included an enormous installation work using 1,300 square meters of space, 3D works, moving images and graphic works. In 2017 a collection of his artworks, "GASBOOK 33 YOSHIROTTEN," was published by GASBOOK.
For YOSHIROTTEN, Wing Shya’s photography captures the city of Hong Kong like a collection of human emotions rather than the actual scenes of the city. By entering into the instantaneous world of the photograph, cutting it out, and expanding its resolution, the emotions of the objects in the photograph start to flow into surreality, and reimagines Hong Kong as a city that has never existed before.
