Decalcomanias of Shuzo Takiguchi
Touch Me Not, 1962
Touch Me Not, 1962
Origin of Solitude, 1962"Shuzo Takiguchi (1903 - 1979) worked extensively as a poet, art critic, and artist. He was a leading Japanese authority on surrealism, devoting his life to exemplifying the movement in its orthodox form. Starting in the 1950s, he began offering new experimental outlets for young postwar avant-garde artists who lacked opportunities for presenting their work in formats other than group exhibitions."

1993/94 self portraitBLEK LE RAT
"1981 to 1983 the beginning of the stencil graffiti art. I had the idea to use stencil to make graffiti for one reason. I did not want to imitate the American graffiti that I had seen in NYC in 1971 during a journey I had done over there. I wanted to have my own style in the street... I began to spray some small rats in the streets of Paris because rats are the only wild living animals in cities and only rats will survive when the human race will have disappeared and died out."
