Satoshi – The Last Salaryman

Figure Exhibition by Yukinori Dehara

Reception: Saturday, June 30, 2012 – 6:30-10pm

Artist Talk & Clay Modeling Workshop

Sunday, July 1, 2012 3-5pm

The Salaryman in Japan, is an underpaid and understated workforce who work long hours and have forged a lifestyle that is strongly responsible for the economic miracle of post World War 2 Japan. Today they wander the streets after their long day, drinking and frolicking until they head home to their family, only to face the same thing the following day. Satoshi is this person but has a friend, a beast named Morlin.

We’ll be sure to feature clay sculptures and more from Yukinori Dehara. We’ve featured Japanese artist, Yukinori Dehara annually and his exhibitions range from being touching to grotesque. Yet like most artists, he has a deep ideology behind his pieces although to the casual observer, they look like fun. More info.
