The Japanese artist, Yuichi Yokoyama, born in , lives and works in the suburbs of Tokyo.

Japanese mangaka and illustrator. Yuichi

After graduating from the painting department of Musashino Art University, he first dedicated himself exclusively to painting, before expanding his graphic and pictorial research into the field of comic strips. Through his work, Yokoyama endeavors to explore a radically different world, to present the fragments of something outward, elsewhere, of an unpredicted future.

Landscapes and architectures are made of simple volumes, in which a clear predilection for a straight line appears; there are no women, whereas men, with masks and disconcerting guises, coldly indulge in opaque actions. Therefore, regarding him, it is pointless to strive and use the customary distinctions manga, comic strip, graphic novel… : his work — without pretention or provocation and voluntarism- far from any given category, just ignores influences and systems as well as styles.

His work has been shown at Centre Pompidou-Metz in the exhibition Japanorama. Skip to content biography Born in , lives and works in the suburbs of Tokyo. Gallery exhibitions. A l'est 16 June - 28 July Roland Topor. Bertrand Burgalat.
