ONGALOO: Yamataka Eye (Boredoms) Illustration Art Book (2006)
Published in 2006, this art book is a definitive collection by the internationally acclaimed artist Yamataka Eye (∈Y∋), the frontman of the legendary Japanese experimental music band BOREDOMS.
Released a decade after his 1996 work "NANOO," this volume serves as a vital record documenting the evolution of his multifaceted visual artistry.
The content features a compelling mix of intricate photo collages, paintings bursting with his signature sense of color, and drawings that capture a raw sense of improvisation.
Much like his musical endeavors, the works visualize a psychedelic and primitive energy. With art direction by Shigeo Goto, this book transcends the typical art catalog, encapsulating the distinct atmosphere of Japan's alternative culture in the mid-2000s.
