Shibuya's Nanzuka Underground Gallery presents one of Japan's (and the world's) masters of experimental film, graphic design and illustration, Keiichi Tanaami. His new exhibition, "DayDream," opens this October. (Click images for detail.)

Tanaami has been delivering eclectic, quirky and above all, original work since his inception into the art world in the 1960s. Psychedelic, avant-garde, alluring and outrageous elements permeate Tanaami's pieces, many of which have been the source of acclaim in films, art books, album covers and posters. It's a must-see exhibition by one of the most influential Japanese artists of our time.

Artist Natasha Law
I feel deeply for the body language in Natasha Law's ladies. Body and movement have always been an interesting subject matter to me. Body language can speak such an intimate, potent language.
