MACHINO Yoshiaki "La Perle"

Purified and sanctified girls――

Yoshiaki Machino, a solitary painter who has traveled to various places for about 10 years since the late 1980s and has continued to paint the purified eros of androgynous girls since the mid-1990s.

A long-awaited collection of works that summarizes his unique fantasy world, from his early works to his latest works!

“I often put pearls in the nipples and genitals of girls, but I want to see an abalone that bears fruit rather than a clam that suggests reproduction.

For me, the act of creating may be to dive into the deep seabed, that is, to the forbidden realm, and continue to search for pearls as a symbol of beauty and purity. ”

--Yoshiaki Machino
