DAY OF INK By Usugrow

Usugrow (1974, Fukushima, Japón) Nacido en Fukushima Japón y basado en Tokio comenzó su carrera en 1993 dibujando portadas para bandas de metal, hardcore y hip hop. Se convirtió en un referente obligado en la escena underground japonesa con su estilo simple y minimal. De técnica impecable y gusto refinado, sus dibujos en tinta negra sobre papel están llenos de fuerza y detalle, pero sobre todo de una belleza dignificada. La imaginería en sus obras nos muestra un estilo que mezcla la elegancia de lo japonés con la fuerza del punk y referencias Mexicanas de la muerte.


Usugrow started drawing in 1993 by creating punk rock flyers. Now, as well as still being hugely successful as a commercial designer for album covers, fashion brands & skate companies, the Japanese-born artist has been exhibiting his fine art in galleries all over the world and his black and white illustrations have become instantly recognizable. Heavily influenced by Los Angeles ‘Cholo’ style graffiti fused with the  spiritual skills of Asian calligraphy. In his work he very often beautifully portrays opposing elements such as delicate lines and unique lettering style, skulls and flowers, yin and yang and of course his palette of black and white. He believes that this is everyday life and living proof that these opposing elements can exist together.

Usugrow also published a book, Love Hate From JP, with FIFTY24SF Gallery, in 2007.
