    About the Artist

    Go Yayanagi (1933-Present) coined “Pop-Uki” - a lively fusion of Ukiyo-e key-lines and Pop Art colour. Flamingos, jungle blooms and signature zebra stripes bound through silkscreens, textiles and civic “road-art,” pairing pop exuberance with an ecological plea. Raised on Hokkaido’s Tokachi plain, Yayanagi’s eye was honed in São Paulo, the Amazon and at Paris’s Atelier 17, then showcased at the 1971 São Paulo Biennial. Pre-dating Superflat, he bridges Edo woodblock heritage to today’s Neo-Pop conversation. [ ← View All Works by Go (Tsuyoshi) Yayanagi]
