The Tolman Collection is delighted to welcome a brand-new star to the list of lithographers: Akihiro Misaki (b.1987, Tokyo.) His career will be a great one as he has graduated from Geidai (Tokyo University of the Arts) one of the best art schools in Japan.
Misaki focuses on the depth of the color black by printing only in monotone. When you look at his work, you find a reflection of light or shadow from just the black ink. His prints (which are lithographs) also resemble pencil drawings. To create these subtle and perfect works, he spends countless hours meticulously drawing the images on an aluminum plate.
He's now teaching art at a junior high school and seldom can find enough time to produce larger editions, so his edition numbers are extremely limited, as few as or less than 9. Besides the rarity, there are no #4 existing in his editions as the artist skips this number which is unlucky in Japan. It means there are always one fewer than the shown number.
As for pricing, prints start from JPY 14,300 to JPY 44,000. Those collectors who want to support this young and talented artist should decide sooner rather than later . We are looking forward to your inquiries.

ザ・トールマン コレクションに新たに加わったリトグラフ作家、見崎彰広（1987年、東京）を紹介いたします。見崎の創り出すモノトーンの世界から生まれる、その丁寧で澄んだ作品に心を奪われることでしょう。
白と黒の2色をリトグラフで表現する中で、特に黒色に奥行きを持たせるため、多大な時間を版作りに費やします。一見すると、その黒はメゾチントのような深い墨色であり、そこには光りと影が生み出され、非常に豊かな表情を形成しています。また、グラデーションされている部分はあたかもペンシル画のような繊細で優しい装いを醸し出しています。
現在、中学校で美術を教える傍ら、非常に限られた環境下での制作となる為、一作品のエディション数は限定９以下と小さく、また縁起をかつぎ４という数字を省いている為、実作品数はそれのひとつ少ない枚数となっています。
まだまだ海外からの評価はこれからですが、若く、才能豊かな版画家の軌跡を共に追いかけていきませんか？
