ORIENTAL PACK Ichibay & Filip Leu

Description

ICHIBAY – Lines and Drawings. ART BOOK + TRAVEL TOOL BOOK

The most classical subjects of the Japanese tradition are presented in this book as a miscellany of studio drawings interpreted by Ichibay’s artistic flair, Three Tides Tokyo.

Flowers, warriors, dragons, animals and iconic figures like geishas, demons, ghosts all different in appearance or approach, are collected here by Ichibay as studies sketched in clean lines and pure shapes, at times conveying that sense of magical irony with which Japanese culture imbues the visual arts.

FILIP LEU. THE BOOK

We can say that Filip Leu’s life, tattooing, and art have flowed along at the same pace over the forty-year tattooist’ career that’s covered in this volume: one aspect influences another, thus revealing the reflection of a major personality.

This book is a catalogue raisonné of the art of the great master: it is organized chronologically, following his brilliant creativity for decades. The three threads of life-tattoo-art weave together throughout the four decades covered in the volume: 2020-2010 / 2010-2000 / 2000-1990 / 1990-birth. It aims to build tattoo culture and awareness, but most of all to serve as a study compendium for any tattooist who truly wants to see, understand and study contemporary tattooing from the technical standpoint, through one of its greatest artists.
