GASBOOK FAIR "ZINE FEATURE”

FEATURE

GASBOOK FAIR VOL 1：ZINE FEATURE

GASBOOK was born in 1996 as a medium to gather new art and design ideas from around the world to introduce creativity from around the world.

Translated through the lens of GASBOOK, a newly launched project called [by GASBOOK FAIR] introduces creativity using [things] as an entry point for perspective. 

The first volume of this project, [ZINE FEATURE], showcases featured artists through a zine format. Some of these artists have previously shown solo exhibitions in our gallery, CALM & PUNK GALLERY, and have also contributed to [GASBON METABOLISM], a multi-purpose commercial complex we operate in Yamanashi. Other featured artists also include creatives who together, we hope to enliven the art scene in the future. The zines made by these artists will be available for sale at [GASBON METABOLISM] and at our online shop, [by GASBOOK] for a limited time only.

AUTO MOAI オートモアイ
In 2015, AUTO MOAI began creating works in monochrome. In 2018, the artist began using a wide array of colors and is currently known for a distinct style in which a strong sense of anonymity resides within the artist’s paintings. 
AUTO MOAI’s style presents us with scenes that while seemingly appear to be objective, reveal personal facets. This effect is precisely achieved through the meticulous preservation of details in the paintings that finally result in profound sceneries that highlight the connections found between human and viewer-to-art relationships.
