Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama, best known for his metallic-infused and subtly erotic paintings, is taking to Hong Kong for his first solo exhibition. Having graduated from the Chubi Central Art School in Tokyo in 1969 and steadily expanding his following to global proportions since, Sorayama’s most shocking and astounding piece of work is Sexy Robot, a hyper-realistic depiction of metallic sensualities and reflected light which helped propel him to his title as one of the godfathers of airbrush painting.

Sorayama says, “In pursuit of hyper-realism, I use the airbrush in a way that naturally depicts minute details of human skin, lips, eyeballs, hair, even individual body hair, or the feel of leather or silk clothes, the metallicity of the robot, the reflection of light…” Regarding the possibilities of realistic painting, he has said, “I can make characters with acrobatic postures, which is absolutely impossible with photographs, or costumes that don’t exist in reality. In addition, I can modify the body freely even which is not anatomically correct, or composite to a beautiful woman according to my taste.” Surely we can say that through his insatiable pursuit of aesthetic sense, he has generated something new.

Featuring over 10 of his most iconic pieces, the exhibition is set to run from September 7 to October 5.
