Beyond the Humanity by Yoshifumi Hayashi
"The grotesque eroticism of Yoshifumi Hayashi’s smooth, graphite illustrations are surrealistic exhibitions of the artist’s deepest and darkest paranoias, fetishes, and obsessions. Legs, breasts, vulvas, and mouths are remixed into accumulative, abject organisms like that of a mutant Hans Bellmer mannequin. In one illustration, a rat king cluster of plump, gesticulating legs project from a mass of intestinal, tubular matter that is reminiscent of both a vulva and a butchered animal carcass. In another, a pillar of disembodied breasts dripping with hyperrealistic beads of sweat tower up a leafy stalk like bulbs on a garlic branch ready to be plucked. Repeating themes include legs, intestines, modernist architectural interiors, and Magritte-esque landscapes." - Printed Matter
