SADAO HASEGAWA   Chapter I: Horny for Life

Giselle’s Books, 28 Rue des Convalescents, Marseille

8/28 - 10/4

We are excited to announce our next exhibition Sadao Hasegawa. "Chapter I: Horny for Life" the first presentation in France at Giselle’s Books.

Consisting of works on paper, illustrations for commercial gay magazines Samson and Barazoku, as well as previously unseen photographs of Hasegawa, all dating from the 1970s and 80s, the exhibition offers an introduction to the work of an artist who, in his lifetime, gained attention in Japan for his singular take on erotic art that marries Eastern cosmologies and world-building with Western pop cultural imagery, precise graphics and a psychedelic palette. This exhibition is curated by Anya Harrison and organised in collaboration with Gallery Naruyama. A second chapter with a new presentation of works will take place in December at Good or Trash, Paris.
