Katsuya Terada Books

127 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches. Soft cover with a dust jacket. 

For the first time ever in history, Terada Katsuya and Kim Jung Gi have come together to create their masterpiece in this new book.  This book is a collection of fierce yet beautiful black lines and transcendent depictions of space.  Many readers might think, “Who drew what and how?” when looking through the art created by these two.

Instead of showing the works of these two artists in a traditional art book format, the editor decided to let the artists create their images freely as they would in their sketchbooks. We hope you take your time to slowly absorb the energy of the lines and appreciate the beauty of the colors, rather than focusing on the logic.

This book depicts the daily life of an artist.

It also includes their own retrospective works and interviews.

Softcover, 326 pages, Measures 6 x 8.5 inches.

Excerpt from the forward written by Katsuya Terada:

"Mornings, I wake up.

I don't feel like working at all.

There's tons of shit that needs to be done, but I don't want to do it.

This is when I throw myself into grinding beans..."

This beautiful book feels like an extra special object. “Codex Binding” allows for the book to be spread fully open to fully enjoy the spreads. 3 pages fold out to reveal stunning, larger images.

The book is wrapped in a glossy cover but take that off and discover beautifully intricate and detailed marker drawings reproduced onto the thick chip board cover. 

Towards the back of the book, find a beautifully written excerpt by Terada musing over his need to draw and his frustrations with this addiction. Without spoiling too much, the translation is poetic and profound.
