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.

With their offbeat colorways and swirling psychedelic imagery, it isn't any wonder that Paul Smith snatched up design duo Joe and Gerry Simboli's Zodiac posters and used them in his collections awhile back. Designed in the late '60s, the shapes and lines have a modern feel making for the perfect way to add a little neo-boho to your decor. Posters are 24" x 36",...

Originally from Kenya, Mutu’s work focuses on the constant exploration and discovery of identity as a woman, immigrant and African in New York City. Known for her lyric collages like “A’gave you” (pictured right), this...
